Movie S4.

Experimental observations at the moment of cavitation inception. Similar to Movie S3 but here the frame rate is increased and the free surface is visible. As mentioned in Fig. 2 and Fig. S2, the free surface starts to move upward after impact yet before the test tube has rebounded. The free surface motion is a precursor to cavity inception.
