Abstract
The numerical aperture increasing lens (NAIL) technique increases the NA and subsequent resolution while preserving stigmatic imaging, and is therefore a significant improvement over standard optical microscopy for subsurface imaging at the diffraction limit. We give experimental data which demonstrates the NAIL technique capability
