An evaluative tool in which a strobe light illuminates similar or successive views across many cycles in nearly periodic vocal fold vibration during sustained phonation. The illuminated points coupled with the persistence of vision of the human eye results in a perception of a full vibratory movement, when in actuality, the examiner is seeing small segments of several consecutive cycles. Stroboscopy is the standard for clinical assessment of vocal fold structure and function. See also videolaryngostroboscopy.[1]
