Microjet in Open Air (VIDEO)

Optica

Caption

The movie shows the injector firing into open air without a skin or gel target. The jet, which is approximately the diameter of a human hair, seems dispersed but a target would be placed within the jet breakup distance of a few millimeters, so splash-free injection is achieved.
