Light, through our eyes, gives us the most direct means of observing the world. Using a microscope we can see many objects invisible to the naked eye, but even the microscope has its limitations as it is impossible with a conventional microscope to resolve anything smaller than the wavelength of light. Typically this sets a resolution limit of about 0.5 microns. To improve this and get inside the wavelength,scientists have been seeking a deeper understanding of light and its component electric and magnetic fields. We can now give a theoretical prescription for the perfect lens that has no limits to resolution.
Watch Sir John Pendry as he discusses recent progress and describes some experiments that bring light to an intense focus much smaller than the free space wavelength.
Sir John Pendry is a condensed matter theorist. He is the Chair in Theoretical Solid State Physics at the Imperial College of London where he has worked since 1981. He has worked extensively on electronic and structural properties of surfaces developing the theory of low energy diffraction and electronic surface states. His interest in transport in disordered systems produced a complete theory of the statistics of transport in one dimensional systems. In 1992, he turned his attention to photonic materials, which in 2000, culminated in a proposal for a perfect lens whose resolution is unlimited by wavelength. These concepts have stimulated further theoretical investigations and many experiments which have confirmed the predicted properties.

Introduction
The applications of microscopy in the forensic sciences are almost limitless. This is due in large measure to the ability of
microscopes to detect, resolve and image the smallest items of evidence, often without alteration or destruction. As a
result, microscopes have become nearly indispensable in all forensic disciplines involving the natural sciences. Thus, a
firearms examiner comparing a bullet, a trace evidence specialist identifying and comparing fibers, hairs, soils or dust, a
document examiner studying ink line crossings or paper fibers, and a serologist scrutinizing a bloodstain, all rely on
microscopes, in spite of the fact that each may use them in different ways and for different purposes.
The principal purpose of any microscope is to form an enlarged image of a small object. As the image is more greatly
magnified, the concern then becomes resolution; the ability to see increasingly fine details as the magnification is
increased. For most observers, the ability to see fine details of an item of evidence at a convenient magnification, is
sufficient. For many items, such as ink lines, bloodstains or bullets, no treatment is required and the evidence may
typically be studied directly under the appropriate microscope without any form of sample preparation. For other types of
evidence, particularly traces of particulate matter, sample preparation before the microscopical examination begins is
often essential. Types of Microscopes Used in the Forensic Sciences
A variety of microscopes are used in any modern forensic science laboratory. Most of these are light microscopes which
use photons to form images, but electron microscopes, particularly the scanning electron microscope (SEM), are finding
applications in larger, full service laboratories because of their wide range of magnification, high resolving power and
ability to perform elemental analyses when equipped with an energy or wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Abstract
During last two decades there have been major advances in high resolution imaging using beyond
diffraction limit optics where the meta-materials are playing a dominant role. Use of meta-material
slabs can act as ideal lens without any aberrations and focus the evanescent waves for super high
resolution .
The paper addresses the simulation studies carried out on such meta-material lenses and the
theoretical models used to simulate the Super (ideal) lens.
1.0 Introduction
Lens makers have been dreaming of making a lens which produces images that are flawless. It is
observed that in conventional optics, diffraction limit is present. The small features of an object are
lost forever when the features are less than half the wavelength of light. So the information is lost,
since the light coming from the objects has components with large spatial frequencies which
exponentially decay because the waves are evanescent which cause a low resolution image. The
conventional lenses also due to various aberrations distort the image. The lost details are the mainly
due to diffraction limit. This decreases the resolution. Many have been trying make optics which work
beyond diffraction limit. [Reference 1]
Pendry proposed that a perfect lens could be made out of metamaterial. He
also said that using double negative medium evanescent waves could be amplified to attain sub
wavelength resolution. The increase in the number of layers and maintaining the same thickness will
affect the image. The losses due to the size effects will decrease the imaging process but it will never
degrade the superlens effect.[ Reference 2]
2. Superlens is made from crossed metal wires. In this model, the attenuation is
reduced. It is able to show the sub wavelength features. This model will allow the sub wavelength
modes to propagate and modes are enhanced. This model is similar to a superlens made of Silver. A
resolution of λ/8 is achieved. This will work in microwave and Terahertz regions.[Reference 3]
Superlens made of anisotropic metamaterials will work similar to Pendry’s
concept . It works on a lens formula by which it is able to decrease the thickness of metamaterial
slabs. Such can work over greater distance between the lens and the object. Thus a far field Superlens
in the visible range can be realised.[ Reference 4]
Superlens with 36nm silver and wavelength of 364nm is designed. A
resolution of λ/6 is attained. It is observed that to increase the resolution, the dielectric function of
outside medium should be greater than 1. The field strength should be higher on the top so that the
evanescent waves can be retained. [Reference 5]
2.0 Super Lens
Super lens is also known as a perfect lens where both ε and μ are negative ( ε>= -1 and μ>= -1) and
which use combination materials to give negative R.I or as metamaterials to go beyond the diffraction
limit. In conventional optical devices or lenses, diffraction limit is an inherent limitation.
When we observe various images through conventional lenses, sharpness
of the image is determined by various aberrations, the transmittance of light of specific wavelengths
which are limited by the diffraction of the various wavelengths through the lens system. In the year
2000, a slab of metamaterial having negative refractive index was theorized to create a lens having
better capabilities beyond conventional (positive index) lenses. A British scientist, Sir John Pendry,
proposed that a thin slab of negative metamaterial might overcome the problems with common lenses
to achieve a “perfect lens” that would focus entire spectrum, consisting both evanescent and
propagating spectra. A lens was proposed using a metal film as metamaterial. When illuminated near
its plasma frequency the lens could be used for super resolution imaging. In addition both evanescent
and propagating waves contribute to give high resolution of the image. Pendry suggested that left
handed slabs act as perfect imaging system if they are completely lossless, impedance matched and
their refractive index is n=-1 with respect to the surrounding medium. Theoretically, this was a
breakthrough in optical domain.
3. 2.1 Optical super lens with silver metamaterial
Fig 1 Plan view of the lens in operation
Pendry showed that the evanescent waves will be enhanced after they pass through a thin slab of
silver. Even though image with high resolution was not observed, the regeneration of the evanescent
waves was shown.
The lens will make a correction of the phase to the Fourier components. After some distance the field
will converge to a focus. For higher values of transverse wave vector, the evanescent waves will
decay and no correction in phase is applicable. So they get separated from image and it consists of
propagating waves only. However the resolution will not be greater than Δ = λ.
Materials having negative refractive index will focus light. A negative index medium will bend light
away from the normal. The light will reach focus from two regions. Both the dielectric constant and
permeability are negative.
i.e., ε = -1, μ= -1
The refractive index can be obtained as,
n = )
There is a reversal of the phase which allows the medium to focus light again. The evanescent waves
will decay only in amplitude. While focussing, there is no need to correct the phase. The enhancement
of the amplitude of evanescent waves will take place. Both the propagating and evanescent waves are
responsible for the image resolution.
4. Fig 2 A slab of negative-refractive-index medium acts as a perfect lens a) bringing all the
diverging rays from an object into a focused image b) enhancement of the evanescent waves,
evanescent waves amplitude are identical both at the object and image plane
We first use a positive index material followed by negative index material. It is followed by again a
positive index material. Then use a thin slab of silver of width 40 nm, as negative index material,
which will focus the image by maintaining the amplitude of higher order Fourier components. Light
(350nm) is incident at the top of first positive index slab.
Fig 3 Snapshot of the design simulation in Comsol
5. 3.0 Results and discussions
The design has been simulated in comsol multiphysics 4.2a. We first define the global parameters like
permittivity, angle of incidence, wavelength ,relative permeability, refractive index. Then we define
the geometry. Then we will choose the materials required in negative and positive index media. Next
we define the ports ,in port 1 light is incident and is the object plane and port 2 is the image plane. In
the port1, wave excitation is on and in port 2 it is off. Then we define the periodic and transition
boundary conditions. Next is the meshing part, a triangular mesh is used. Next we will compute for
the results. Finally the results are obtained and plots are observed.
Fig 4 Evanescent waves enhancement
Here we plot the Electric Field vs the length of the lens. We can see that in the first positive index
slab, evanescent waves decrease and in the following negative index slab, the evanescent waves are
increased. In the following positive index slab, evanescent waves decrease. So the image formed at
image plane will be same as that of object plane.
4.0 Conclusions
The foundation of superlensing theory—regeneration of evanescent waves by means of a metal film
—has been validated in our experiment. Although these experiments are conducted with pristine
silver films, the experimental configuration will provide a test bed for the artificially synthesized
metamaterials.
