Schematic of the bacteriorhodopsin schlieren set-up. Absorbance spectra before and after creation of M-state population in the bacteriorhodopsin film using 525 nm light and their difference. Absorbance change at 400 nm as a function of write intensity for different long-pass write filters. The wavelengths given are the pass edges. Absorbance changes measured with various band pass filters as a function of write intensity using a 550 nm long pass as the write filter.
Wavelengths given are band-pass centers.
Bacteriorhodopsin schlieren image of the spray from a compressed gas duster. The vertically oriented light and dark bands comprise the image of the jet. The black crescents are scratches on the mirror. Bacteriorhodopsin schlieren image of a low velocity He gas plume. Image profiles for the compressed-gas duster spray.
