injector spray pattern?

This weekend I welded the top nut to stop the leak and was able to test

So, what is the spray pattern really supposed to look like? The factory shop manual shows a perfect stream, but is that really what is usually produced? All 5 injectors are spraying a conical pattern opened about 10-15° as shown while using B100. Is this acceptable?

I tore them apart about 2k mi ago for thorough cleaning, but wasn't able to test them. I'm not sure if they are original, but the engine has 265,000 on it.
