Re: Pictorico for Zone Plate

MessageIf you define lens as a piece of glass no, but if you define it more generally as something that can cause light to concentrate or diverge then maybe yes. And yes I've been starting to design my own pinholes, mega-pinholes and zone-plates with the very program you mentioned. The idea came to mind when it was suggested that I use a film recorder or enlarger to create the pinhole. I thought "why not just use Pictorico"? At 5760 DPI do you think edges will be much of an influence? I'll know shortly.

  Lith film should be more suitable for that purpose (zone plate - Goggle for the program "Pinhole Designer"; it gives you the possibility to design a zone plate .pdf file that you can have it printed with a very high resolution imagesetter at a service bureau). BTW, I never heard anything such as a pinhole "lens" ;)

    Has anyone had success using Pictorico OHP to make Zone Plate or Pinhole lenses?
