Various methods of video-enhanced microscopy combine TV cameras with light microscopes creating images with improved resolution, contrast and visibility of fine detail, which can be recorded rapidly and relatively inexpensively. The AVEC (Allen Video-enhanced Contrast) method avoids polarizing rectifiers, since the microscope is operated at retardations of λ/9- λ/4, where no anomaly is seen in the Airy diffraction pattern. The iris diaphram is opened fully to match the numerical aperture of the condenser to that of the objective. Under these conditions, no image can be realized either by eye or photographically. Yet the image becomes visible using the Hamamatsu C-1000-01 binary camera, if the camera control unit is equipped with variable gain control and an offset knob (which sets a clamp voltage of a D.C. restoration circuit). The theoretical basis for these improvements has been described.

A 10Gbit/s burst-mode transimpedance preamplifier is described. Regulated cascade (RGC) TIA core with variable gain, fast response peak detector, single-to-differential and output buffer are included, providing auto-gain-control and threshold extraction functions. The burst-mode preamplifier is implemented by 0.13µm CMOS technology, presents a high gain of 67.9dB with a 3-dB bandwidth of 6.92GHz and a low gain of 57.4dB with a 3-dB bandwidth of 8.60GHz with a settling time less than 20ns.
