摘      要：Images have a very special role for humans in interpreting our world. Developments in image acquisition technology are enabling us to extend our visual faculties beyond the limitations of our physical presence and the resolving power of our eyes. This tutorial paper focuses on image acquisition technologies which give us insights that cannot be achieved at the wavelengths that we can perceive unaided. It aims to introduce two of the most rapidly developing and exciting areas in this field synthetic aperture radar imaging and tomographic medical imaging - each of which has the capacity to provide significant, but widely differing, benefits to mankind.
