ABSTRACT
The South Pole Telescope is a 10 m diameter, wide-field, offset Gregorian telescope with a 966-pixel, millimeter-wave, bolometer array receiver. The telescope has an unusual optical system with a cold stop around the secondary. The design emphasizes low scattering and low background loading. All the optical components except the primary are cold, and the entire beam from prime focus to the detectors is surrounded by cold absorber.
ABSTRACT
We have described a mobile miniature-gamma-camera system for use in electrical trauma units and have presented images and imaging characteristics of a prototype system. The system has as its principal component a miniature gamma camera based on a PSPMT. The camera is 92 mm x 92 mm x 190 mm in size, weighs 5 kg, has a 48 mm x 48 mm field of view, and has an intrinsic resolution of approximately 3 mm FWHM and 6 mm FWTM. It is expected that devices of this type will be useful as imaging tools in electrical trauma units and laboratories where imaging studies regarding uptake mechanisms of radiopharmaceuticals for assessing tissue viability are carried out.
