Low-cost PIV system (air)

This system can be used for 2D/2C measurements in air with larger regions of interest or flow velocities. A wireless link controls the laser pulses from PIVlab. Very small interframe times (down to 10 µs) make it possible to measure high velocities. In combination with the pco.panda 26 DS (25 megapixels), high resolution PIV measurements are possible.
