Abstract
Content

The figure is a simplified depiction of a proposed Fourier telescope for imaging in hard-x rays and γ rays. This instrument would contain only one pair of grids made of an appropriate radiation- absorpting/ scattering material, in contradistinction to multiple pairs of such as grids in prior Fourier x- and γ-ray telescopes. This instrument would also include a relatively coarse gridlike image detector appropriate to the radiant flux to be imaged. Notwithstanding the smaller number of grids and the relative coarseness of the imaging detector, the images produced by the proposed instrument would be of higher quality.
