Abstract The capillary breakup extensional rheometer is commonly used to determine material properties of complex fluids. This is achieved by tracking the diameter evolution of a liquid bridge undergoing capillary thinning and breakup in a uniaxial extensional flow. Typically, the filament diameter evolution is tracked at the mid-plane between the two end-plates using a laser micrometer. We show using high-speed imaging that while this arrangement is satisfactory in flows where the filament is long (relative to its initial diameter), slender and approximately cylindrical, errors can be significant when the filaments are short (and with a non-negligible curvature) such as encountered when using the so-called slow-retraction-me...
