Abstract

Adequately timed high repetition rate nsec flashes for photographic observation of nonluminous particles of minute size are obtained by application of dc voltage, and shotrates up to 10 kc/sec are produced by such a free-firing source with a time jitter totaling ~0.3 msec. This simple method is satisfactory for the microscopic evaluation of fluid dissipation processes. Studies of the statistics of over-all fluid motion require more exact timing if evaluated by a motion picture presentation.
