Figure 3.25.: The transmittance of the infrared glass for radiation of different wavelengths,<br />

provided by EdmundOptics.<br />

ing in order to avoid reflection of the surrounding infrared radiation. Likewise,<br />

the double-glass infrared window was employed for the same purpose of thermal<br />

insulation. This construction was supported by N. Kidambi in his IREP summer<br />

exchange program [67].<br />

Figure 3.26.: Configuration of the bottom-view infrared imaging. The drop impact<br />

took place on the infrared glass, on top of which a 12 µm thick aluminium<br />

film was laid. After each impact, the slider was pulled out,<br />

warmed above the dew point, and the aluminum film was cleaned<br />

before the next drop impact. The infrared camera measured the temperature<br />

of the aluminum film, which was expected to be the temperature<br />

of the bottom of the lamella.<br />

Superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) offer strong drop receding and even total rebounding<br />

[6]. Supercooled drop impact was conducted on such surfaces because<br />

solidification might have a noticeable influence on the receding or rebounding.<br />
