This video shows several types of micro-lenses that I made using a DIY maskless wafer stepper. The tiny lenses can for example be used for building a Shack-Hartmann wavefront detector.

Explanation of the Shack-Hartmann principle can be found on Wikipedia:

This is the download link for Windows installer for the Zone Plate app:

YouTube does not like to redirect to this link. the file is (last part of the URL): /assets/zp_writer.zip

For Windows 10 and for personal use only. Virus scanners and Windows will nag about it being a rare / unknown file and make installation sometimes difficult. Sorry about that. Install this app at your own risk.

Wikipedia also explains this very clearly, but I just found this article first.
