The lenses can be place above optical cavities for imaging things smaller than the diffraction limit, i.e. beyond the limit of conventional optical microscopes.

About

This is a cheap and fast way of producing super resolution lenses of various shapes and sizes. The lenses can be place above optical cavities for imaging things smaller than the diffraction limit, i.e. beyond the limit of conventional optical microscopes. They can therefore be used with conventional optical microscopes to transform them to super-resolution microscopes to resolve much smaller objects.  This technology was developed in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory. Status: Patent pending.
