An extremely small (1-250 micron FWHM) beam of slow highly charged ions deexciting on an x-ray production target generates x-ray monochromatic radiation that is passed through a specimen and detected for imaging. The resolution of the x-ray radiograms is improved and such detection is achieved with relatively low dosages of radiation passing through the specimen. An apparatus containing an electron beam ion trap (and modifications thereof) equipped with a focusing column serves as a source of ions that generate radiation projected onto an image detector. Electronic and other detectors are able to detect an increased amount of radiation per pixel than achieved by previous methods and apparati.

An optical filtering device incorporates first and second prisms, the latter prism counteracting the angular dispersion of the former prism. A spatial light modulator provides a positionally variable optical stop located to block radiation within a wavelength interval and received from a location within a scene. Unobscured radiation from that and other scene locations passes to a camera, which produces an image on a display. Opaque pixels in the stop are positioned to block unwanted light sources. The invention attenuates potentially dazzling monochromatic radiation while retaining radiation at other wavelengths for imaging purposes.

The present invention provides a new approach for processing hyper-spectral radiance data. It uses a transformation matrix to convert an instrument radiance spectrum into a pseudo-monochromatic radiance spectrum. The pseudo-monochromatic radiance spectrum is produced by an empirical transform of the instrument channel spectrum to a monochromatic equivalent spectrum (i.e., a pseudo-monochromatic spectrum). Eigenvector regression is used to produce the empirical transformation. Although the transformation does not produce the monochromatic radiance spectrum without error, the transformation error is generally well below nominal instrument noise levels for most spectral channels. The reduction in instrument noise results from a noise filtering effect of the eigenvector transformation. One of the advantages of the present invention is that it eliminates the need to build different fast radiative transfer models (RTMs) for different observing instruments, since the retrieval of geophysical parameters is based on an inversion of the monochromatic radiative transfer model. Although a different transformation matrix is required for different instrument spectral channel characteristics, the production of this transformation matrix is straightforward and simpler than the production of an accurate channel radiance fast model.

A single particle caloric absorption spectrometer for directly measuring the absorption spectra in situ of individual aerosol type particles comprises a differential arrangement of two identical electrodynamic traps (separated by a series of pneumatic valves) capable of suspending a charged particle in free-space in a non-intrusive manner in one of the traps; a source of monochromatic radiation, e.g., a laser, which is split and directed equally through transmission windows into the traps; and, a high precision capacitance manometer capable of detecting the pressure differential between the traps. After a particle has been trapped in one of the traps and the traps have been sealed from the atmosphere and from each other by the pneumatic vales, the radiation source is turned on and is evenly split / directed into both trap volumes via an appropriate beam splitter and transmission windows. This results in identical illumination of both the target and reference trap regions. A certain fraction of energy will be absorbed by the particle resulting in its heating. The heat generated within the particle is rapidly transferred to the surrounding air resulting in a net change in pressure between the target and reference traps. This change in pressure is recorded by the capacitance manometer and is shown to be proportional to the actual absorption cross section of the particle. The wavelength of the laser is then shifted slightly and the measurement is repeated until the desired spectra are completely recorded.
