Measurement of bubbles in a superheated liquid

Measurement of growing bubbles in a superheated liquid, having diameters in the 100 μm range, were performed on photos taken in bright-field illumination with two different magnification optics and by an innovative holographic technique. The bubble tracks had been recorded during a neutrino experiment within a volume of ∼1.5 m3 in the 15-foot bubble chamber at the Fermilab Tevatron. Three methods for the evaluation of the bubble sizes were applied for the classical photography. They are compared with each other and with measurements on holography replay devices.
