And S3, according to the theoretical phase distribution, matching the theoretical phase by using a phase library obtained by scanning to obtain the most appropriate size combination, wherein each size corresponds to a sampling coordinate, all sampling points in the area are arranged with the most appropriate nano units, and finally obtaining the space division super-structure lens.
It should be noted that, in step S1, each nano unit represents a single independent sampling point, and because there is a superposed region, each nano unit needs to satisfy two orthogonal linearly polarized light phases at the same time, and the two units need to realize independent phase adjustment and control covering 2 pi, so according to the transmission phase theory, a nano unit structure with independent variable double axes is necessary, the structure of a single elliptic cylinder nano unit designed by the present invention is shown in fig. 2, and the nano unit 2 is completely covered by the protective layer 1, and has a plurality of adjustable degrees of freedom, including: the spacing of the repeating periods, the shape of the nano-units located in the repeating periods, the refractive index, the material, the handedness, the dimensions in the respective orientations, and the type of medium that coats the nano-units. According to the design requirements of the invention, an elliptic cylinder with the simplest configuration is selected as a nanometer unit, wherein only two degrees of freedom of length and width (namely, the lengths corresponding to a long axis and a short axis) are changed, the change ranges and intervals of the length and the width are set, the emergent phase and the transmittance of each combination when Ex linearly polarized light and Ey linearly polarized light are incident are obtained by numerical simulation, the data form a sampling database, and each phase corresponds to a group of length and width values. The remaining degrees of freedom are set to a fixed condition and do not vary with the data in the library.
In step S3, as shown in fig. 3, the function display of the spatial separation super-structure lens is shown, wherein the function display includes an object plane 3, a spatial separation super-structure lens 4, a left super-structure lens inclined optical axis and beam focusing 5, a right super-structure lens inclined optical axis and beam focusing 6, and an image plane 7, wherein the left super-structure lens works in Ex linear polarized light; the right metamaterial lens operates with Ey linearly polarized light.
The specific phase matching calculation mode is as follows: the theoretically calculated phase and the phase in the library are periodically transformed to be between 0 and 2 pi. As each nano unit needs to meet the requirements of Ex and Ey at the same time, the phase of each sampling point needed by the left super-structured lens is firstly differenced with the phase in the library obtained when Ex linearly polarized light enters to obtain a difference library, then the phase of each sampling point needed by the right super-structured lens is differenced with the phase in the library obtained when Ey linearly polarized light enters to obtain a second difference library, absolute values of the two are added to form a new third difference library, the minimum value is searched in the library, the corresponding size of the nano unit does not individually accord with the requirements of the left super-structured lens or the right super-structured lens, but partial compromise is made between the two, the closest phase requirements of the two can be met as far as possible, and partial phase matching errors occur, so that the tolerance is realized. According to this procedure, each sample point can be matched to the most appropriate size, and the tilted view of the partial nano-cells of the super-structured lens on the substrate in the final arrangement is shown in fig. 4.

Wherein the imaging system further comprises a carrier plate for holding the superstructural lens 10 and the test specimen 9.
In the imaging system, a specific working principle, namely an imaging flow, is as follows: the diverging light beam emitted by the source of illumination 8 is first of all focused on the test specimen 9 placed on the carrier plate, via a series of beam conditioning and focusing systems. The spatial separation super-structure lens 10 is also arranged on a carrier plate of an upper layer, an illuminated area of a test sample is used as a new light source, two images 11 which are symmetrical in position and have parallax are formed in the subsequent space of the test sample through the super-structure lens right above, and are collected by a CCD12, so that the stereoscopic microscopic imaging is realized.
