All observations by the aperture photometer (PHT-P) and the far-infrared (FIR) camera section (PHT-C) of ISOPHOT included reference measurements against stable internal fine calibration sources (FCS) to correct for temporal drifts in…

In fluid flow imaging, intensity gradients are a good measure of spatial variations in scalar properties, which play an important role in controlling transport processes. However, current flow imaging techniques exhibit system-limited…
