This is a telescope cum microscope: Millions of photocells as used in array of a flat bed (may be squared), each photo cell has a long tiny pipe on it which allows light comming only from straight line to the photocell. This photocell bed can be concaved to zoom in or convexed to zoom out.

Voila, a photoscope without mirrors or lenses.

Reward: Credit for the idea.

I think what you have there is a CCD array, as in digital camera.

Isn't it really great when you come up with an idea so great that you later find out that it's being sold by the millions all over the world? -- only in a form (digital camera) that you didn't know about. Something like that would definately make MY day.
