1. An improved stroboscope system comprising in combination,solid state light emitting means responsive to emit light over discrete time durations defined by the presence of input activating pulses of a predetermined duration,strobing control means providing said input activating pulses to said light emitting means timed to occur in response to synchronizing signals to produce light flashes having a duration substantially that of the activating pulses,means for directing said light flashes onto a movable object with a light intensity permitting an observer to view a moving part of the object in a movable phase thereof related to the synchronization pulses as if stationary comprising a patterned array of individual light emitting elements and means for processing said activating pulses to predetermined ones of the elements in said array, andcontrol means for separately programming different subsets of the individual elements to emit light in response to said input activating pulses in different respective patterns on said movable object.
