Eight frames from a prototyping shot using the laser backlit SIMX16 camera. A 6 km/s projectile from a gas gun impacts on a plastic cube with a 5 mm cylinder drilled out. The planar shock is seen to form a jet like structure as it propogates across the cylinder. Upon hitting the rear surface a small volume of gas is compressed and ionised causing light to be emitted
