Maxwell fish-eye and Eaton lenses emulated by microdroplets.
Despite strong experimental and theoretical evidence supporting superresolution imaging based on microlenses, the imaging mechanisms involved are not well understood. Based on the transformation optics approach, we demonstrate that a microlens may act as a two-dimensional fish-eye or an inverted Eaton lens. An asymmetric inverted Eaton lens may exhibit considerable image magnification, which has been confirmed experimentally.
