Description
Schlieren photo showing hot air from 3 candles (left) being sucked into an electric fan. Invented in 1864, Schlieren photography is used to study the distribution of density gradients within a transparent medium like air, water, or glass. This technique, allowing us to see what is invisible to the naked eye, is also used to study shock waves.
