A method is provided for detecting primary gas flows (18) in flow chambers (10). The primary gas (18) flowing in a flow chamber (10) is locally seeded with a seed substance and the movement of the seed substance, representative of the flow of the primary gas (18), is detected by imaging by an image detector (28) and an imaging optics (30) arranged in front of said image detector (28). A gas mixture (34) that moves along with the primary gas (18) without relative motion and that has a refractive index distinguishable from that of the primary gas (18) is used as the seed substance, and imaging detection is carried out by a background schlieren measurement method.

A collector transfers EUV illumination light from a radiation source region to illumination optics. Imaging optics of the collector image the radiation source region in a downstream focal region. The imaging optics are embodied so that the radiation source is imaged with at least one first imaging scale by the EUV illumination light, which is emitted with beam angles <20° between the radiation source region and the downstream focal region. The imaging optics are also embodied so that the radiation source is imaged with at least one second imaging scale by the illumination light emitted with beam angles >70°. The two imaging scales for the beam angles <20° on the one hand and >70° on the other hand differ by no more than a factor of 2.5. In addition to a corresponding collector, an illumination system contains field facets transfer optics.

A system for visualizing catheter irrigation, the system includes a fluid container, a pump, a schlieren imaging assembly and a processor. The fluid container is configured to: (i) contain a first fluid, which is at least partially transparent and has a first temperature, and (ii) receive into the first fluid a catheter having one or more irrigation holes.
