Details
A compact PTV system is developed for 3-D measurement of micro flows. Unlike conventional micro PIV systems, the present technique is capable of making 3-D measurement by using a single microscope equipped with a stereo optical attachment. It consists of a prism and two mirrors mounted in a compact casing. The image overlap between left and right views is avoided by placing a partition plate in casing. Some preliminary results obtained with the present system are presented.
