They added, however: "While certainly enhancing, we don't see this as a game changer in terms of government focused capabilities for Aetna going forward".
Other similar projects with perhaps more focused capabilities include BioPython [ 41] and BioPerl [ 42] that are based on the Python and Perl languages, respectively (to our knowledge, neither BioPython nor Perl have tools for the analysis of flow cytometry data).
Shortly after its deployment in Earth orbit, HST project scientists found that a manufacturing error affecting the shape of the telescope's primary mirror severely impaired the instrument's focusing capability.
The behaviors and characteristics of the electron beam are analyzed and the focusing capability is investigated.
The simulated intensity distribution is much similar to the focusing capability of the high NA refractive lens [33].
Optical testing on the fabricated aspheric microlenses shows significant improvement in focusing capability and the focal spot sizes are approaching optical diffraction limits.
The lens system consists of a pair of microfabricated optical elements, one of which has variable curvature providing a unique mechanically-actuated zoom focusing capability.
The focusing capability must enable exposure of step heights of ≥50 μm, which is normally achieved using an optical projection system with a large focal depth.
The broadband focusing capability, miniaturized size, and versatile fabrication technique all together open a great potential for compact and inexpensive all-optical or opto-electronic devices such as photovoltaics [26], color filters [38], and refractive index sensing [39].
For smaller beam intensities, there could be a spatial distribution of secondary electron emission that would limit further nanodot size reduction, while for stronger beam intensities, there could be such issues as the instrumental beam focusing capability and the precursor availability that will affect the size and shape of the deposited material, which need to be further examined.
However, one limitation of this work is that the proposed design strategy to realize the superfocusing performance of NRPLs is aimed for the quasi-far-field region, although to the best of our knowledge, the similar focusing capability in this region is rarely reported.
