New mapping and analysis techniques for NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory are described which permit us to obtain information of size scales of order 10″ in the far-infrared. Basically, the focal-plane image is highly oversampled while the telescope is scanned smoothly and repeatedly over the region of interest with a slit of size λ/D. Maximum-entropy deconvolution is then used to obtain spectral frequency information down to scales of ∼ λ/2D.
