RESUMO
We employ a self-assembly method to fabricate dielectric microsphere arrays that can be transferred to any desired positions. The arrays not only enable far-field, broad-band, high-speed, large-area, and wide-angle field of views but also achieve superresolution reaching λ/6.4. We also find that many proposed theories are insufficient to explain the imaging properties; including the achieved superresolution, effects of immersion, and unusual size-dependent magnification. The half-immersed microspheres certainly do not behave like any ordinary solid immersion lenses and new mechanisms must be incorporated to explain their unusual imaging properties.
