To study the flow topology and temperature distribution of Rayleigh-Benard convection in a highly slender cell, measurement of the simultaneous velocity and temperature in the 3-D domain is required. For this aim, implementing a simultaneous time-resolved 3-D PTV and two-colour PLIF is planned. As a part of this development, for both PTV and two-colour PLIF techniques, the experimental setup has been implemented separately to measure time-resolved 2-D velocity and temperature and is presented in this paper. For PTV, a scanning system is also utilized to scan the flow field to capture the planar velocity in different depths of the flow domain. Progress on calculation of the out-of-plane velocity component including the theory is discussed. Finally, results of the time-resolved 2-D PTV and PLIF systems are presented.
