But given the absence of microlenses in the halo so far — of the four or five microlenses for which distances are known, none is in the halo — Paczynski says that remains to be seen.

«Each small eye, composed of a microlens and a microscale photodetector, is a separate imaging system, but when they are all taken together, the camera can take a clear picture, with just one snap, of nearly 180 degrees.

According to the researchers, each microlens produces a small image of an object with a form dictated by the parameters of the lens and the viewing angle.

The 180 microlenses of Roger and Huang's camera is comparable to the eye of fire ants and bark beetles, but less than the fly eye, which has thousands of small eyes.

In 1998 Aizenberg joined Bell Labs as a member of the Technical Staff where she has made several pioneering contributions including developing new biomimetic approaches for the synthesis of ordered mineral films with highly controlled shapes and orientations, and discovering unique optical systems formed by organisms (microlenses and optical fibers) that outshine technological analogs, and characterized the associated organic molecules.

Typically, the microlens brightening caused by the star will last about a month and the brightening caused by the presence of an exoplanet will only last a few hours.

The result is illumination from the microlens disk through the pinhole disk for strong excitation of fluorophores, causing a fluorescence emission which in turn passes through the pinhole disk with high confocality.
