Claim 0:
1. A method of imaging a turbine engine component having a first surface and second surface spaced from the first surface, and a plurality of holes with inlets formed in the second surface fluidly coupled to outlets formed in the first surface, the method comprising:
determining at least one fluid frequency corresponding to at least one portion of the turbine engine component;
determining, based on the at least one fluid frequency, at least one sampling frequency;
pulsing fluid at the at least one fluid frequency through at least a portion of the plurality of holes of the turbine engine component;
imaging, during the pulsing of the fluid, the at least one portion of the turbine engine component using a thermographic sensor that captures images at the at least one sampling frequency; and
storing the images captured by the thermographic sensor.
