Right now, the Murchison Wide-Field Array is the best imaging instrument by far for high-resolution intensity measurements done in the neighborhood the 2-meter wavelength.
By “high-resolution” I am referring to dynamic range. Dynamic range is how dark the darkest features of your image can be and how bright the brightest features of your image can be. A high dynamic range allows you to recognize finer differences or more features in your image.
Although Dr. Morales at our University of Washington uses the MWA for observation of wavelengths around 2 meters, for solar studies the MWA can also measure wavelengths from one to four meters.
