Adaptive-Optical 3D Microscopy For Microfluidic Multiphase Flows
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.
