Multiple Sphere Super-resolution Optical Imaging Lens MS-SMAL

The Multi-Spheres SMAL uses a novel arrangement of seven microspheres in a honeycomb structure, designed to broaden the lateral field of view while preserving the super-resolution imaging features inherent to SMAL technology.

This setup facilitates concurrent high-resolution imaging across several neighboring areas, enhancing throughput and efficiency for sophisticated microscopy applications.
