A spectroscopy system is provided which is optimized for operation in the VUV region and capable of performing well in the DUV-NIR region. A guidewire directing device includes a lumen extending between a proximal end and a distal peripheral opening for directing a guidewire laterally from the device, and may have a deflecting member with a predetermined deflection angle in the lumen adjacent the peripheral opening. 5 to 5 \u03bcm, a half width of diffraction peak in a <110> direction of \u03b1-Fe as measured by X-ray powder diffraction of 0. Further disclosed is a method for fabricating the digital garment using embroidery technology. The variety known as \u2018Super Dragon\u2019 also is extremely tolerant to direct summer sun and drought conditions. The receptacle and plug communicate with the sensor.
