The structure of premixed turbulent flames in constant volume vessel was investigated by using a laser tomography. The flame structure was visualized by passing a laser sheet with 0.2mm thick and 2 cm wide through the turbulent flames to obtain their 2-D images. From the obtained images islands of reactants as well as of products were found at least in the 2-D images when the turbu-lence intensity was above 0.4m/s. Moreover in order to obtain the characteristic flamelet thickness the light intensities of them were digitized and processed into three colors incorporating two appro-priate threshold values in the image analysis. As the result the averaged value of charactertistic flamelet thickness was found to be about two times compared to laminar one.
