Explosion
Well I moved the microphone another 4cm closer to the explosion (any closer and it will be the explosion) and gained some microseconds. This is a much better image of the shock waves.
To explain the image, its a few tens of milligrams of silver acetylide that is detonated with the hot nichrome wire visible in the picture as a glowing coil. The shock waves are hitting an aluminum U-channel with a bunch of holes drilled into it that let the shock wave through. I'm using a rainbow cutoff that is spread in two dimensions that shows all directions of the shock wave using the different colors.
The mirror has a thin glass pane protecting the mirror.
Cheers.
