It also samples the wavefront continuously across the entire beam, creating a higher resolution result than can be achieved
with a microlens array.

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.
«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.
Kataoka also said that Sharp is trying to improve the brightness of LCDs by focusing ambient light onto them,
with the help of
microlenses.
The other method is to mechanically sample the wavefronts: for example,
with an array of
microlenses.
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.
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.
