Abstract

We present first results of the deprojection of some optical and radio images of planetary nebulae using an iterative technique based on the Lucy method, as discussed in Leahy (1991). This approach allows a greater range of possible geometries to be investigated and is less sensitive to the effects of noise compared with the direct matrix-inversion method which can be used for the spherical case. We assume that the emissivity function can be represented as
