An apparatus for microneedle fabrication by the microlens technique is disclosed. The apparatus leads to a reduction in production time, cost and damage of microneedle which may be from demolding step in the molding technique. A microlens container, transparent sphere, medium, substrate sheet, and photopolymer is also disclosed. A microneedle fabrication processes capable of producing microneedles with different heights by adjusting focal length of the micro lens is further disclosed. The focal length can be adjusted by 1) changing spacing between the microlens and the substrate sheet and 2) selecting the medium with different refractive index which results in the refractive index ratio of the transparent sphere to the medium between 1.0 and 1.5. Furthermore, different pattern and shape of microneedle can be achieved by changing the arrangement of the transparent sphere instead of using photomask.

The present invention relates to a photodetector array for capturing image data, comprising: photodetector cells arranged on a substrate, each including a single-photon avalanche diode, wherein the active areas of the photodetector cells are neighbored along a hexagonal grid; microlenses, having a hexagonal or circular shape, each arranged on one photodetector cell to focus light onto the photodiode.
