A non‐stroboscopic system for ‘freezing’ rotational motion, based on an image de‐rotation principle, has been adapted to allow the study of simulated gravity stresses induced in small‐scale models under centrifugal loading. The resulting system proved to be efficient and inexpensive; it performed equally well in reflection or transmission and was thus perfectly suited for photoelastic or moiré fringe investigations in ‘real time’, i.e. by direct observation.
