The user can choose to filter part of the information and visualise only particular aspects of the multi-dimensional image. Proteins or peptides can be visualized by searching the positions at which they have been identified. The z intensity can represent the number of peptides found to match the queried protein in the identification process, for instance, or the sum of the MS intensities of the peptide masses matching the queried protein (for examples of data interpretation and visualisation see Figure 4.13).

Meanwhile orbitals cannot be observed either directly, indirectly since they have no physical reality contrary to the recent claims in Nature magazine and other journals to the effect that some d orbitals in copper oxide had been directly imaged (Scerri, 2000). Orbitals as used in ab initio calculations are mathematical figments that exist, if anything, in a multi-dimensional Hilbert space.19 Electron density is altogether different since it is a well-defined observable and exists in real three-dimensional space, a feature which some theorists point to as a virtue of density functional methods. 

Pore shape is a characteristic of pore geometry, which is important for fluid flow and especially multi-phase flow. It can be studied by analyzing three-dimensional images of the pore space [2, 3]. Also, long time diffusion coefficient measurements on rocks have been used to argue that the shapes of pores in many rocks are sheetlike and tube-like [16]. It has been shown in a recent study [57] that a combination of DDIF, mercury intrusion porosimetry and a simple analysis of two-dimensional thin-section images provides a characterization of pore shape (described below) from just the geometric properties.

In the following, those ion beam analysis techniques that allow for fluorine detection will be presented. By far, the most important technique in this respect is nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). Although it can be rather complex to perform, it is the most often applied technique for fluorine trace element studies, due to a number of convenient and prolific resonant nuclear reactions which make it very sensitive to fluorine in most host matrices. NRA is often combined with particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) which allows for simultaneous determination of the sample bulk composition and concentrations of heavier trace elements. By focusing and deflecting the ion beam in a microprobe, the mentioned techniques can be used for two- or even three-dimensional multi-elemental imaging. 

All evidence points at a multi-dimensional, non-orientable structure, topologically equivalent to projective space-time. It is of interest to note that the same conclusion has been reached before on the basis of astronomical observation [229]. In two instances has the same pattern, defined by a cluster of quasars, been observed as distorted multiple images at different positions in the sky and interpreted in terms of multiply connected projective space. 

The simplest color sensing systems are responsible for monitoring only one color across a scene. These are typically used in quality control applications such as monitoring of paints, to ensure consistency between batches made at different times. More sophisticated color sensors look at the color distribution across a two-dimensional image. These systems are capable of complex analysis and can be used for checking multi-colored labels or for identifying multi-colored objects by their color patterns. 

In this book, NMR is viewed from the perspective of imaging. NMR spectroscopy, relaxometry, and transport measurements are considered to be useful for defining image contrast. Clearly, such an approach is likely to be foreign to an NMR spectroscopist, who may consider NMR imaging a modification of multi-dimensional NMR. These different perspectives can be related to each other by considering the time dependence of the Larmor frequency (1.1.7). 

The next milestone, in the history of NMR [Frel], was the extension of the NMR spectrum to more than one frequency coordinate. It is called multi-dimensional spectroscopy and is a form of nonlinear spectroscopy. The technique was introduced by Jean Jeener in 1971 [Jeel] with two-dimensional (2D) NMR. It was subsequently explored systematically by the research group of Richard Ernst [Em 1 ] who also introduced Fourier imaging [Kuml]. Today such techniques are valuable tools, for instance, in the structure elucidation of biological macromolecules in solution in competition with X-ray analysis of crystallized molecules as well as in solid state NMR of polymers (cf. Fig. 3.2.7) [Sch2]. 

Multi-quantum transitions can only be observed indirectly by a modulation of the detected signal with the phase of the multi-quantum coherence. This modulation is achieved in an experiment by variation of an evolution time prior to detection. Repetitive detection of the signal for different evolution times provides the information about the evolution of the multi-quantum coherence. The indirect detection of spectroscopic information based on phase or amplitude modulation of the detected signal is the principle of multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy [Eml]. Thus multi-quantum NMR is a special form of 2D NMR. Also, NMR imaging can be viewed as a special form of multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, where the frequency axes have been coded by the use of magnetic field gradients to provide spatial information. 

The terms transformation, convolution, and correlation are used over and over again in NMR spectroscopy and imaging in different contexts and sometimes with different meanings. The transformation best known in NMR is the Fourier transformation in one and in more dimensions [Bral]. It is used to generate one- and multi-dimensional spectra from experimental data as well as ID, 2D, and 3D images. Furthermore, different types of multi-dimensional spectra are explicitly called correlation spectra [Eml]. It is shown below how these are related to nonlinear correlation functions of excitation and response. 

In principle, any scheme of multi-dimensional liquid-state or solid-state spectroscopy can be combined with spatial resolution to mD spectroscopic D imaging. However, measurement times rapidly become excessive, so that meaningful applications are quite rare.
