a Numerical calculations of nanoparticle-nanolens complex radius, Rm as a function of particle size Rp. Each line represents calculations for different contact angle pairs θs and θp. For a 200 nm nanoparticle, the corresponding maximum Rm can exceed 2 μm. b Numerically calculated meniscus radius for (i) 50 nm (red), (ii) 100 nm (green), (iii) 140 nm (blue), and (iv) 200 nm (black) spherical nanoparticles to emulate the nanoparticles used experimentally (also see Supplementary Fig. 1). The unbroken line (-) represents θs of 10.0° whereas, the broken line (--) represents θs of 2.5°. For a 200 nm nanoparticle, the corresponding maximum Rm can exceed 2 μm. c Schematic diagram of the nanolens parameters. The red dotted indicates symmetry.
