A spray data acquisition system includes a spray pump actuator that is
capable of providing a pumping force to a pumping device to generate an
aerosol spray plume along a spray axis. The system also includes an
illumination device that illuminates the aerosol spray plume along at
least one first geometric plane that intersects the aerosol spray plume.
The system further includes an imaging device that acquires data
representative of an interaction between the illumination and the aerosol
spray plume along at least one geometric plane.
