Abstract

The current SHG users have already demonstrated some of the excellent results being obtained from their instruments, which were covered in the last chapter. In this chapter we show some of the exciting images and science which can only be achieved with the SHG at different wavelengths and bandwidths. One of the strengths of the SHG is that we can accurately position the acquisition bandwidth at a nominated wavelength and known distances (in Å) from the absorption line core CWL, something difficult to assess with normal commercial filters.
