Nice video, except it could use some, you know, actual images made by the lens they talk about.

Its the usual Youtube thing where there's multiple videos. The one linked is the bibliography popular science utterly non-technical spin. There's a three part technical series, a fun two hours viewing, and the end of the third technical video goes has some performance shots. It performs really well for a tiny little thing, like per gram or per cubic centimeter the performance is excellent. Its a cool technology and when I saw it I immediately wondered if it would be possible to make a microscope the same way out of single solid cylinder of glass. I don't think so; but it would be cool. It would also make an interesting, although probably very expensive, binocular technology.
