DMD Mirrors in a DLP-Projector Moving in Slow Motion (Stroboscopic Effect)

This video shows how you can view in slow motion the very tiny digital micro mirrors that can be found in for example DLP-projectors (beamers). The method used here is based on a combination of microscopy and stroboscopy and does not require a high-speed camera. By using this method, we cannot only look at the pixels in real time but at the same time slow down the switching process (which is in the microsecond time range) by several orders of magnitude.
