Orthoscopic Imaging Systems

Chapter 1, Introduction to Liquid Microlenses, starts by describing the ubiquitous problems in optics in particular, those that can be solved by liquid microlenses. To whet the appetites of readers, we point to the benrfts and advantages of liquid microlenses in many applications for example, artificial implementation of compound eyes endoscopic fiber microscopes for confocal reflectance and real-time optical coherence tomography (OCT) photolithography optical communications orthoscopic imaging systems and labs on chips. 

With advances in miniaturization, microlenses continue to play important roles in many fields, including artificial implementation of compound eyes [2,19], optical commimication [20,21], photolithography [3,22], biomedical imaging systems [2,23,24], orthoscopic three-dimensional (3D) imaging [25,26], and labs on chips [4,27-29].
