First, yes, back in the day, the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) used to publish the annual meeting's abstract book as an extra issue of the Journal of Cell Biology (JCB). In those days, maybe still, the society published JCB, expecting a large overlap between members and attendees. In the days of journals bound on sheves, libraries would bind the extra issue in with the volume, usually at the end, sometimes by the month it came out. If you can find a bound copy of volume 83 of JCB (in your library's depository?) you can probably find the abstract. In digital collections, these issues are not generally scanned and made available. Perhaps this is something that the ASCB could undertake? Again, back in "those" days, abstracts because there were published with the journal tended to be taken as citable objects so digitizing these records would be valuable. Next, is Gordon Ellis, a brilliant figure whose work was influential if not always appreciated in 'modernizing' light microscopy. Although published for lasers, the fiber optic scrambler was also helpful for filling the rear focal plane with any kind of inhomogeneous source, such as a mercury arc. In the 1980's a shop at Woods Hole commercialized this for any light microscope set up. It did a lovely job filling the focal plane and Nomarski images were beautiful.

Shinya's "super-scope" is shown in figures 3-13 and 3-14 (pages 159 and 160) of I&S ... go to http://www.amazon.com/Video-Microscopy-Fundamentals-Language-Science/dp/0306455315 select "Look inside" and search for "light scrambler" (no quotes). note: the Ellis light scrambler was mostly used to provide Shinya with homogenous illumination for his transmitted light work, such as polarization microscopy. You can also look for scrambler in Shinya's collected works: http://www.amazon.com/Collected-Works-Shinya-Inou%C3%A9-Microscopes/dp/9812703888 See 3rd hit (page 500 of collected works = page 393 of the paper), also the page 835 ("we found it necessary to add another single optical fibre scrambler"). Page 979 mentions Robert A. Knudson of Technical Video, Ltd, as the supplier of the Fiberoptic Light Scrambler. The LFW Buyer's Guide has this web page: http://buyersguide.laserfocusworld.com/technical-video-ltd.html though the web site they list www.technicalvideo.com <http://www.technicalvideo.com/> looks informational only (so far). George p.s. page 978 of Collected Works refers to two generations of Shinya's "super-scope" as "Shinya Scope 5" and "Shinya Scope 6", page 979 for "Shinya Scope-7". I also encourage taking a spin down memory lane by reading about the Centrifuge Polarizing Microscope section that starts at the bottom of page 979.

The Hard, Zeh, Allen 1977 J Cell Sci paper is freely available at http://jcs.biologists.org/content/23/1/335.long Speaking of JCS, it has an 'Imaging' site http://imaging.jcs.biologists.org/ I am especially looking forward to reading tonight the Stramer and Dunn essay, Cells on film – the past and future of cinemicroscopy http://jcs.biologists.org/content/128/1/9 (freely available). Scramblers - May 1992 Ken Spring helped UIC at the AQLM course with a Brimrose AOTF (wavelength selector) and some length (a couple of meters?) optical fiber, plus something to vibrate the optical fiber - maybe by touching the fiber to the fan of the (Argon?) laser (though maybe was an Hg lamp?). This may have also been the first time MetaMorph (pre-1.0) was "brought out to play".

More than that, for the historical background. I had seen the reference in Video Microscopy, the Confocal Handbook, the patent, and a few other places and soon realized that the libraries of London Universities (UCL, Imperial, KCL) are sorely lacking in older paper copies of JCB. Ken Spring has at least one published paper where they show a fiber coiling around the laser fan to remove speckling ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=1760509). One other reference I found interesting was a group who used a rotating plastic petri dish as their "low cost" alternative to the wedge+diffuser system from the Hard paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=15556992.
