Re: [ATM] Variable Focus Optics

["Bill Kelley" <flex@commspeed.net>]

Combined with flex technology it could produce large plastic optics that 
within the same instrument could served as a near range microscope with huge 
light gathering capacity, or, as a telescope at any distance. That I can 
already do with glass- but can't change the focal length. Big but- might 
they figure out some way to correct for chromatic abberation?
