望远镜窗口是一种变换光学的新概念，由一组微型望远镜组成，在我们的配置中，是伽利略式的。当阵列被认为是一个多方面的设备时，它就像传统的伽利略望远镜一样，具有独特而有吸引力的特性，如紧凑和模块化。原则上，每个透镜都可以独立设计用于特定的光学功能。本文报道了两种概念的望远镜窗的设计、制造和原型制作，并讨论了它们的性能和局限性，以期将它们作为潜在的低视力辅助装置用于支持黄斑变性患者。
A Telescope window is a novel concept of transformation-optics consisting of an array of micro-telescopes, in our configuration, of a Galilean type. When the array is considered as one multifaceted device, it acts as a traditional Galilean telescope with distinctive and attractive properties such as compactness and modularity. Each lenslet, can in principle, be independently designed for a specific optical function. In this paper, we report on the design, manufacture and prototyping, by diamond precision machining, of 2 concepts of telescope windows, and discuss both their performances and limitations with a view to use them as potential low vision aid devices to support patients with macular degeneration.
