 Use of 2 fields: one interacting with the
object under investigation, the other
restricting this interaction to a small
region
 Rotation of the fields relative to the
object produced a series of 1-D
projections of the interacting regions,
from which 2- or 3-D images of their
spatial distribution could be
reconstructed.
