Abstract
Schlieren and shadowgraph techniques are introduced in the present chapter. Topics including optical arrangement, principle of operation, and data analysis are discussed. Being refractive index-based techniques, schlieren and shadowgraph are to be compared with interferometry, discussed in Chap. 1.
