It is primarily associated with , a West Highland established in the in the region, with its chief line known as the Camerons of Lochiel. The clan's early history involves territorial disputes and alliances, including a notable 1396 at Invernahyle where 30 Cameron warriors faced in a royal arbitration. Clan Cameron's heraldry includes a crest depicting a sheaf of five arrows proper, tied with a band , symbolizing unity among its branches, and the motto Aonaibh ri chéile ("Unite"). The clan , in its modern form, features a pattern of red, bottle green, and yellow, reflecting traditions and used in kilts and accessories. Historically, the clan played a significant role in risings, particularly the 1746 , where around 400 Camerons under Chief charged the government lines on the right flank, suffering heavy casualties before Lochiel was wounded and escaped to France.

In , the Cameron bands refer to the a³Π – X¹Σ⁺ electronic transition of (CO) molecules, producing emission or absorption features in the ultraviolet wavelength range of approximately 1800–2600 Å. These bands were first identified in spectra by R. H. Cameron in and are prominent in astrophysical environments due to their sensitivity to CO dissociation and excitation processes. In , Cameron bands are key diagnostics for middle ultraviolet dayglow on Mars, where they arise from CO produced by CO₂ , with peak intensities observed at altitudes of 100–150 km; studies confirm their cross-sections under impact, enabling models of atmospheric . They also appear in cometary spectra and auroral emissions, providing insights into carbon chemistry in low-density gases. In , the Cameron number (Ca) is a dimensionless characterizing the in viscous flows, particularly in polymer processing and , where it quantifies the ratio of axial convective heat transport to radial conductive heat diffusion. Defined as \mathrm{Ca} = \frac{\rho C_p v R^2}{k L}, where \rho is fluid density, C_p , v , R characteristic radius, k , and L , high Ca values (>10) indicate significant viscous heating effects that alter and profiles. This number, analogous to the inverse Graetz number, helps predict regimes where temperature rises exceed 50–100°C, impacting material properties in non-Newtonian fluids; it is widely applied in rheometry to correct measured viscosities for gradients. Additionally, Cameron's method, developed by H. L.
