Focusing Schlieren Products

The table below illustrates the basic matrix of focusing schlieren systems and their ranges of utility. Lower frame rates (FPS) and longer shutters correspond to more economical systems, since they require slower cameras and less light.

 

Digital Focusing Schlieren

* ≤ 3 ft./1 m diameter

* more economical

Analog Projection Focusing Schlieren

* larger areas

* (usually) higher sensitivity

Video Rate (shutter > 1 ms, 100 > FPS)
