  • Abstract
    A new transverse tomographic apparatus is described that enables the tomogram to be related to the ideal image by a linear blurring operation. It is shown that digital and optical linear spatial filtering techniques may be employed to remove the blurring that is present in the tomographic image obtained with the new device. Experimental verification of both restoration methods is presented.
