Currently Playing: Making Tiny Fresnel Lenses during a Pandemic

This video shows several types of micro-lenses that I made using a DIY maskless wafer stepper. The tiny lenses can for example be used for building a Shack-Hartmann wavefront detector. Explanation of the Shack-Hartmann principle can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shack%E2%80%93Hartmann_wavefront_sensor This is the download link for Windows installer for the Zone Plate app: http://www.huygensoptics.com/assets/zp_writer.zip YouTube does not like to redirect to this link. the file is (last part of the URL): huygensoptics.com/assets/zp_writer.zip For Windows 10 and for personal use only. Virus scanners and Windows will nag about it being a rare / unknown file and make installation sometimes difficult. Sorry about that. Install this app at your own risk.
