A VERSATILE APPARATUS FOR THE STUDY OF REFRACTORY INDEX FIELDS IN GASES

Abstract

A relatively inexpensive optical system is described which is capable of interferometry, deflection mapping, shadowgraphy and the entire range of schlieren recording. It is easy to set up, requires only minor adjustments to convert it from one function to another and, when desired, can fulfill several of them simultaneously. Its construction is discussed and illustrated by a variety of records.
