Abstract

The procedure of zeugmatographic imaging — hitherto implemented only with nuclear magnetic resonance to form the well known MRI technique — is examined with the aim of utilizing it also in combination with non resonant phenomena. It is shown that in principle, one may indeed use zeugmatographic schemes with Perturbed Angular Correlations (PAC) or with muon spin rotations (μSR) to obtain image information from material bodies. The preliminary experimentation with zeugmatographicμ Spin Imaging scheme, (μSI), will be described. SomeμSI imaging results will be presented and the inherent limitations of the method will be discussed.
