Medical Definition of Schlieren method
1.
An optical technique that detects density gradients occuring in a fluid flow. In its simplest form, light from a slit is collimated by a lens and focused onto a knife edge by a second lens, the flow pattern is placed between the two lenses, and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen or photographic film placed behind the knife edge.
