In order to achieve MTFs at different contrasts, the MTF measurement system is designed and developed. Two integrating spheres are used to illuminate the face and back of the test target uniformly. The target luminance and background luminance of the test target are regulated by adjusting the attenuators near the entrance of each integrating sphere. The many groups’ experimental results indicate that the luminance differences between the values by the system and those by L88 first level luminance meter, which is checked by National Institute of Metrology P. R. China, are within ±0.3 cd/m2. Thereby the measurement precision can be ensured in MTF test. MTFs of Sony camera and Cannon camera at different contrasts are measured by this system. The measurement values show that MTFs at different contrasts can demonstrate the imaging quality fully and objectively. This study provides an effective method to evaluate the imaging quality of visible imaging systems.

In protein electron crystallography, both low dose electron diffraction patterns and images are needed to provide accurate amplitudes and phases respectively for a 3-dimensional reconstruction. We have demonstrated that the Gatan 1024x1024 model 679 slow-scan CCD camera is useful to record electron diffraction intensities of glucose-embedded crotoxin complex crystal to 3 Å resolution. The quality of the electron diffraction intensities is high on the basis of the measured intensity equivalence ofthe Friedel-related reflections. Moreover, the number of patterns recorded from a single crystal can be as high as 120 under the constraints of radiation damage and electron statistics for the reflections in each pattern.A limitation of the slow-scan CCD camera for recording electron images of protein crystal arises from the relatively large pixel size, i.e. 24 μm (provided by Gatan). The modulation transfer function of our camera with a P43 scintillator has been determined for 400 keV electrons and shows an amplitude fall-off to 0.25 at 1/60 μm−1.

In this paper a new version of discretization model for Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography is presented. The algorithm has been extensively tested for synthetic noisy data on various configurations of internal objects. In order to improve the imaging quality, the pixels/voxels have been enlarged compared to the figures inscribed in pixels/voxels however no more than figures described on the standard square pixels or cubic voxels. The proposed algorithm provides better quality of imaging.
