Liquid crystal switching used in telescopic contact pattern of ultraviolet light before any unpolymerised lens material is dissolved away. These surfaces have proved effective at aligning chiral nematic and ferroelec- A prototype has been developed by researchers at the tric liquid crystal molecules [5].

The single contact lens contains two different as a detection tool generally depends on immobilis- optical paths, one of which is through an ordinary ing the DNA at a surface, preferably stretched out in transparent lens in front of the pupil. But light can a known alignment. Methods which can do this most also be directed into the pupil by a series of curved, reliably tend to rely on chemistry which can damage concentric mirrors arranged around
