World First 3D Microscopic Lens

Finally the world got its first 3D Microscopic lens which has been created by Lei Li and Allen Yi of Ohio State University. The 3D microscopic lens is one of its kinds which are mainly because it gives the capability to see microscopic objects while they are inactive. Other such microscopes capture images of the subject by circling around it. The 3D microscopic lens was crafted by the engineers on a precision cutting machine using a diamond blade because they believe that it can be made by using the traditional process. The acrylic glass was cut by 10 nanometer spacing to result into a flat plane.

The top of the lens is bounded by 8 facets like a gem stone which is not symmetric. This allows the user to see 9 different angles and hence giving a 3D view of the subject or object. This process has paved way for scientists to get better angles of microscopic objects.
