## Description

- description: We demonstrate such behavior using a flat slab (0.15 micron) of the
    low-loss, natural hyperbolic material, hexagonal boron nitride. This thin natural
    hyperlens exhibits wavelength-dependent multifunctional operations, offering both
    imaging of single objects with down to lambda/32 resolution (0.4-micron at lambda=12.8
    micron), as well as enabling up to 4.2x magnification, which can be explained
    based on the volume-confined, wavelength dependent propagation angle of Type I
    hyperbolic polaritons. Our results open up exciting new possibilities for guiding
    and sensing of light at an extreme sub-diffractional scale.
