This is awesome work. I just want to point out that it's pretty much a marketing lie to say that the lens gives you 160x magnification. Sort of like saying how digital zoom gives you magnification on a camera.
A non-linkbait title would also report the numerical aperture of their microscope. From their paper, it looks like the new lens performs comparably to a research grade 10x 0.25NA objective.
