Abstract
A schlieren apparatus using a bacteriorhodopsin film as an adaptive im age grid with white-light illumination is demonstrated for the first t ime to our knowledge. Relevant spectral properties of the film are cha racterized. Potential applications include a single-ended schlieren sy stem for gas-leak detection. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
