contents We demonstrate a CMOS-compatible silicon-rich nitride metalens array for visible microscopy at 660 nm. Three co-planar elements provide numerical apertures of 0.54, 0.92, and 0.97, enabling within-sample NA benchmarking without objective swaps. Imaging of annular cell monolayers labeled in the AF647 ZO-1 channel shows progressive sharpening of junctional edges and reduced blur with increasing NA, consistent with diffraction-limited scaling. The compact, planar platform supports direct integration with image sensors, offering a practical route to high-NA fluorescence bioimaging in space-constrained, low-cost systems.
