The intensities of the continuous satellite quanta h..omega.., which considerably complicate the observation in the muon 2s ..-->.. 1s transition of parity-violation effects due to the weak neutral interaction of the muon and the nucleus, are calculated for the muonic atoms ..mu..F, ..mu..Ne, and ..mu..Na with the electron shell configurations )(1s)/sup 2/(2s)/sup 2/), )(1s)/sup 2/(2s)/sup 2/(2p)/sup 2/) and the neutral muonic atom configuration. The dependences of the total yield of the satellite quanta h..omega.. on the lower limit h..omega../sub min/ = h..omega../sub 0/-..delta.. are obtained, where ..delta.. is the energy resolution of the detector of the informative quanta h..omega../sub 0/ emitted in the muon 2s ..-->.. 1s transition. In the optimal case of neutral ..mu..Na, the continuous spectrum of the satellite quanta h..omega.. puts an upper bound of approx.50 eV on the resolution ..delta...
