New UV cameras are suitable for imaging of α-contamination by fluorescence of atmospheric air the near ultraviolet (wavelength — 280 – 390 nm) region. Their parameters are: FOV for detecting in UV spectral region is 8° × 6°. The optical FOV is about 48° × 36°. DayCor SUPERB UV camera has sensitivity 3×10−18 W/cm2 enables detection and displaying corona emission as weak as 1.5 pC at distance 8 m, and capture moving targets without smearing the output image. Instruments sensitivity for alpha contamination registration in terms of minimum measurable activities (MMA) have been estimated as, 40–100 Bq/cm2 (measurement time is 3600–600 sec correspondently).

PEGylated chlorins are soluble in water, can be excited in the near-ultraviolet, and exhibit a relatively narrow fluorescence band in the red spectral region.

We have recently used the atmospheric air-shower Cerenkov technique in an attempt to observe pulsed gamma radiation from two southern pulsars, PSR 0833—45 and MP 0959. Northern hemisphere observers do not agree whether the pulsars CP 0950, CP 1133 and CP 1919 are sources of gamma emission, either pulsed or uniform in time.

Inhomogeneous acoustic velocity in human tissue introduces phase aberration in ultrasonic imaging systems and degrades image quality. A novel technique that employs echo signals from moving diffuse targets, such as flowing blood, as an image quality factor to compensate for phase aberration is described. Such signals can be obtained by subtracting the images of two consecutive target interrogations. The fundamental statistics of the quality factor and other related parameters are developed to provide a theoretical basis for the technique.
