Collimated light is deflected by a transparent area of varied index of refraction, resulting in an image of the area

Summary edit

Description
English: A point light source at the focal point of a lens creates parallel, collimated light. A transparent area of varied index of refraction, such as warmer gas, deflects light. The deflected light is blocked by a knife or razor blade. The remaining collimated light is refocused to a point and then is imaged. The deflecting area is revealed in the image.
