A nanofabricated silicon template holds two independent multilayer Laue lenses with high precision for easy alignment to create a nano-focused X-ray beam. Scientists have developed a new type of lens ...

A new fortuitous alignment has allowed a cluster of galaxies to play a crucial role. Nicknamed the “carousel lens,” this unique gravitational lens reveals not one, but seven distant galaxies.

Full baffle and lens alignment assembly, designed to minimize stray light, mass, and size, and maximize optical performance. Sandia National Laboratories sponsored a project to create a new design for ...

Follow the build process of a custom microscope, from a simple single-lens macro setup to a more advanced three-lens configuration. This section highlights the use of 3D-printed parts, lens alignment, ...

Scientists have developed a new type of lens that focuses an X-ray beam to nanometer levels. This is a scale smaller than a single virus. The monolithic 2-D multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) can focus an ...
