What is recorded here?
Lee and colleagues described a curved layered optical hyperlens and imaged closely spaced test features with a conventional far-field microscope. In the reported 365-nanometre illumination experiment, the reconstructed image resolved a line-pair separation down to approximately 125 nanometres. An anisotropic effective-medium model and electromagnetic simulation explained how the structure magnifies fine spatial information before ordinary optical detection.

Scientific scope
This result uses a specific cylindrical, lossy layered structure and fixed patterned objects placed at its inner surface; it does not provide unrestricted far-field resolution for arbitrary distant objects. Magnification was only along one direction and the reported transmission was about an order of magnitude below the simulation, affecting exposure time. A 2007 Science report by the same group is separate from this expanded account; its distinct content and supplementary analysis should not be attributed to the later version. Earlier superlens and hyperlens theories retain separate credit.
