Schlieren System

Print

A pair of 750 mm diameter optical glass windows can be installed in the side walls for Schlieren visualizations.

The configuration of this system is the conventional "Z" arrangement with 30" diameter parabolic mirrors and additional plane mirrors to fold the system to enable it to fit with the ground position for the digital camera and light source units.
