Abstract
The Edgerton method of stroboscopic-light, highspeed photography is a new technique for investigating rapid motion. Several of the types of records and measurements which can be made with complete high-speed photographic equipment are illustrated by studies on sneezing. Droplet numbers, velocity, etc., can be obtained. The method also is useful for studying other small particles such as dusts, and is superior for photographing human subjects, particularly sick patients and children, since posing is unnecessary and the light is not painful to the eyes. It can be used for photomicrography, and for color photography.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
