This spiral-shaped lens can help those with cataracts or age-related vision problems for a clear focus: ow.ly/83hz50Qzkp2 The lens can be used on contact lenses, in intraocular implants for cataracts and in new types of miniaturized imaging systems. @LP2N_lab #OPG_Optica

This X-ray technique enables small organisms and sensitive samples to be studied at high resolution over long periods. ow.ly/8Me250QgubR The technique directly magnifies the X-ray image rather than converting the X-ray image into a visible light image first. #OPG_Optica
