The Effect of Refractive Index of the Medium on the Position of the Camera Lens in Schlieren Optics

Abstract
A linear relation has been established between the plane of focus for schlieren optics in the ultracentrifuge cell along the optic axis, and the refractive index of the liquid contained in the cell. Such a relation shows that there occurs a defocussing effect when a large change in refractive index is generated in the liquid column during centrifugation of multi-component systems.
