“…As can be seen, the set-up of figure 6 cannot adjust the sheet thickness and the beam waist position independently. To do so, extra lenses must be added as detailed, for example, by Prenel [14].…”
The aim of the paper is to present some practical aspects of PIV recording set-ups which are not often discussed in the literature. After a short presentation of the different possible light sources available, emphasis is put on the Nd:YAG laser which has contributed to the strong evolution of PIV. Then the elements needed to realize a light sheet from a laser source are presented and discussed. Finally, the basic optics knowledge needed to record good particle images is recalled with emphasis on points of importance for PIV.

“…For this, a scanned 2D PIV was reported, where the illumination sheet was swept through the z-direction [7]. Fast flows may evolve during the scanning time limiting the technique's applicability to relatively slowly-evolving flows.…”
“…The different motion modes (sweeping function) determine the family of visualization [7]: Sequential tomography: the optical scanner being driven by successive step functions, it is possible to record N different plane images of steady or quasisteady flows (Fig. 1a).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
