As a consequence of embedding, the bending angle, lens equation, image amplification, image shear, and time delay between multiple images of an embedded lens are all different from those of a standard linearized lens.

Serial time encoded amplified microscopy ( STEAM ) is an imaging method that provides ultrafast shutter speed and frame rate, by using optical image amplification to circumvent the fundamental trade-off between sensitivity and speed, and a single-pixel photodetector to eliminate the need for a detector array and readout time limitations The method is at least 1000 times faster than the state-of-the-art CCD and CMOS cameras.
