colored drops

A first try with my new setup which is not already finished. Lighting + reflection could be much better, my point of interest here is the drop generation. I used 3 solenoid valves which can be exactly controlled separately by arduino microcontroller board. So for each valve I can use a different colored fluid (it's only water here with some ink)

 

The biggest problem is to get the 3 drops into the same flight path. This is really very difficult to handle. I have to work on this to make it more reliable, up to now I need a lot of time, patience + luck to get them exactly on top of each other.
