We examine in analytic and numeric ways the imaging effects of temporal neutron lenses created by traveling magnetic fields. For fields of parabolic shape we derive the imaging equations, investigate the time-magnification, the evolution of the phase space element, the gain factor and the effect of finite beam size. The main aberration effects are calculated numerically. The system is technologically feasible and should convert neutron time of flight instruments from pinhole- to imaging configuration in time, thus enhancing intensity and/or time resolution. New fields of application for high resolution spectrometry may be opened.
