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) | sTube™ with consumer-grade digital display | Schlierenscope |
| Short-Exposure Video Rate (shutter ≥ 1µs, 100 > FPS) | sTube™ with our FlashScreen display | High-Speed Schlierenscope |
| High-Speed Short-Exposure Video (shutter ≥ 1µs, 100 < FPS | sTube™ with our PowerBox display | Custom development (contact sales@spectabit.com) |
Note: shutter speed and FPS (frames per second) ranges are approximate and may vary somewhat depending on particular hardware specifications.
Software
- SchlierenView - the basic software that enables our digital focusing schlieren product line. This is also available separately without the DFS capability to support real-time schlieren image enhancement with any kind of schlieren system, or it can be purchased with a patent license for customers who want to build their own digital focusing schlieren systems
- SAFRAN - the Synthetic Limb-Edge Schlieren Analysis package. A commercial solution for large-scale outdoor schlieren imaging.
