With a silicone rubber "stick-on" sheet containing dozens of miniature, powerful lenses, engineers are one step closer to putting the capacity of a large laboratory into a micro-sized package. The marriage of high performance optics with microfluidics could prove the perfect match for making lab-on-a-chip technologies more practical.
