The ‘metalens’ created by Paniagua-Domínguez and his colleagues consists of arrays of silicon discs with various diameters on a substrate, each area designed to direct the light at a specific angle. All the areas were engineered to direct light into a specific point — the focus of the lens. The area responsible for giving the lens its high-numerical-aperture comprises pairs of nanometer-scale silicon cylinders, one larger than the other, which act like antennas for visible light. Using silicon rather than a metal reduces losses and makes the concept applicable across a wide range of wavelengths.

Microscopes magnify thin specimens mounted on microscope slides. They are ideal for observing unicellular or very small organisms, cells, and cell structures.

However, high-numerical-aperture systems can be bulky, complex and expensive. And conventional glass-based optics rarely attain a numerical aperture above 0.95. Scientists from the A*STAR Data Storage Institute have now built a simple flat lens with a numerical aperture higher than 0.99.

“Previous attempts to make flat, high-numerical-aperture lenses ended up with devices that were very inefficient at its edges, where the light bends at very large angles,” explains A*STAR scientist Ramón Paniagua-Domínguez. “We proposed a new method to overcome this limitation using nanoantennas.”

It's a very simple formula, F# is the ratio of the focal length of a lens divided by the diameter of the lens, N=(Focal Length Ratio / Diameter of Lens).

The dimensions of the nanoantennas — the disk diameter, disk separation and the pitch of the array — can be altered to suit the metalens’ wavelength range and specific application. For example, disk diameters of 190 and 150 nanometers redirect incoming red light at an angle of 82 degrees. This allowed the team to achieve a numerical aperture of 0.99 in their metalens, making it ideal for high-resolution applications.

High-numerical-aperture optical lenses offer very high resolution and are particularly useful for low-light-intensity applications, such as single-photon optics. The numerical aperture is a measure of the conical angle of light that can be collected by the lens and, reciprocally, how tightly a beam of light can be focused. The larger the numerical aperture, the higher the resolution and the closer the lens can be to the object to be imaged. As the collection angle and, hence the amount of light collected from the object, approaches its theoretical maximum, the numerical aperture increases and gets closer to a value of one, the fundamental maximum for a lens in air.

Simple flat lenses, incorporating nanoscale features, that outperform conventional bulk optics have been fabricated by scientists at A*STAR.

The ADA MAGNETIC LIFT is a magnetic mount with micro lift that is specially included for convenient laser level attachment. The mount is made of high-strength, impact-resistant plastic. A movable SLIDER clamp on the tripod rod is used to roughly select the height of the instrument. The ADA MAGNETIC LIFT is used for millimeter-precise horizontal aiming from 0 to 11 centimeters. The ADA MAGNETIC LIFT is attached to the tripod by powerful neodymium magnets. If the tripod is not required the laser level together with the ADA MAGNETIC LIFT can easily be separated from the ADA Silver PLUS. Two devices in one.
