RE: Pictorico for Zone Plate

I see. I think "pinhole aperture" is a more technically correct name.
Anyway, the film recorder suggestion sounds good.

If 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" ;)
