Text and/or other creative content from this version of Wafer-level optics was copied or moved into Microlens with this edit on 15 March 2012. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

In keeping with what appears to be standard usage, the lead describes, by inference at least (e.g., "microlenses with non-circular apertures"), lenses with an approximately spherical curvature or the gradient-refractive-index equivalent. However, the "Applications" section includes references to cylindrical lens arrays (so-called "lenticular lenses") and their predecessor, the parallax barrier. IMO, this veers off topic and muddies the waters; only fly's-eye-lens arrays and the like ought to be included here. Is there any consensus of high-quality sources as to whether cylindrical lenses (in their most elementary form, simply a thread or rod of some transparent material) should or should not come under this heading?

both articles refer to small lens fgnievinski (talk) 00:02, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose on the grounds that a lenslet might be small, but it need not be a microlens. Klbrain (talk) 12:32, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 12:41, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
