Micron diameter lenses. if you look at it with a high-resolution microscope, the surface is textured with 200 nanometer features. the combination of all these features is what allow it to collect light from many angles and also have anti-reflective properties. and we can identify the structure. but to reproduce them with our current nanomanufacturing techniques, it would be very difficult and expensive where with this process we can reproduce an entire eye in two steps, rather than with a technique that would have to meld away material to leave this texture we're looking for. our technique is ...
