Abstract
A system and a method for imaging microfluidic ejectors during operation. An example provides a microscopy system, that includes a plurality of microfluidic ejectors. A mirror is disposed in a droplet path of the plurality of microfluidic ejectors, wherein the droplet path passes through an opening in the mirror. An optical system is focused on the plurality of microfluidic ejectors through the minor, wherein the optical system comprises a camera.
