1. A stacked array magnifier for forming a magnified image of an object, comprising:

  • one or more non-refractive lenslet arrays and one or more refractive lenslet arrays to form a plurality of lenslet channels, each lenslet channel having at least one refractive lenslet and at least one non-refractive lenslet, the lenslet channels between at least two adjacent arrays being sloped relative to an optical axis between the object and the image, the sloped lenslet channels further from the optical axis having larger slopes than the sloped lenslet channels closer to the optical axis, the slopes providing selective magnification between the object and the image.
