A Fourier transform microscope for use in imaging a source of x-ray and/or gamma-ray radiation includes first and second grids arranged in proximity to the source. The first grid includes an arrangement of first subgrids elements with a first predetermined number n of approximately parallel, equally-spaced linear first ribs which are opaque to the radiation of interest, and first radiation-transparent regions which are arranged in alternation with the first ribs. The second grid includes an arrangement of second subgrids elements which are larger than the first subgrids elements, and which have a common field of view with corresponding first subgrid elements. Each second subgrid element has a second predetermined number n+m of approximately parallel, equally-spaced linear second ribs which are opaque to the radiation of interest, and second radiation-transparent regions which alternate with the second ribs. Each first subgrid element and its corresponding second subgrid element is termed a `subgrid system`. Each subgrid system can be used to derive an amplitude and phase of an associated Fourier component. A position-sensitive detector detects a Moire or fringe pattern from wach subgrid system and generates a signal indicative of the radiation intensity distribution image of the source in spatial frequency domain which can be converted into a radiation intensity distribution image of the source in spatial domain using a Fourier transform.

A method andan apparatus for producing a photopumped VUV laser in an Mo.sup.6+ ion-containing plasma comprise photopumping the Mo.sup.6+ ion-containing plasma with radiation from Mo.sup.11+ ions. In one embodiment, the Mo.sup.6+ ion-containing plasma has an electron density of less than about 10.sup.18 cm.sup.-3 and the Mo.sup.11+ ions are contained in a plasma having an electron density greater than about 10.sup.20 cm.sup.-3.

A respiration monitoring system includes a thermoelectric generator that may be mounted within a mask enclosure or free-standing, covering all or part of the nose and/or mouth of a subject. A first temperature sensor is attached to the thermoelectric generator for measuring the subject's breath. A power controller develops a difference between a preset temperature and the subject's breath temperature that is then inserted into a feedback error signal and then into a power controller which regulates the power to the thermoelectric generator to maintain a preset temperature.

A system for monitoring the breathing status of a patient comprises a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor is arranged to measure the temperature of the breathing gas of a patient. The second temperature sensor is arranged to measure an ambient temperature of the patient's surroundings. A controller is included, wherein the controller is programmed to determine a plurality of breathing-gas temperatures over time by way of a first signal received from the first temperature sensor and at least one ambient temperature using a second signal received from the second temperature sensor. The controller is programmed to analyze the plurality of breathing-gas temperatures and the at least one ambient temperature to determine a breathing status of the patient. The present invention may be embodied as a method for monitoring the breathing status of a patient.
