Stroboscopes work according to the stroboscopic principle. It makes motion sequences visible which otherwise cannot be observed by the naked eye by synchronising the flash frequency to the movement of the observed object and emitting intensive light pulse of short duration.

The object is always illuminated at the same point of its movement, so that it appears to the eye as if it were motionless. This phenomenon is used as the basis of stroboscopic instruments which are used to "freeze" motion for the purpose of measurement.

Stroboscopes are always used wherever motion sequences have to be analyzed or rotation speeds have to be measured.
