  We fabricated thin-films made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with embedded
high-index (n~1.9-2.2) microspheres for super-resolution imaging applications.
To control the position of microspheres, such films can be translated along the
surface of the nanoplasmonic structure to be imaged. Microsphere-assisted
imaging, through these matrices, provided lateral resolution of ~{\lambda}/7 in
nanoplasmonic dimer arrays with an illuminating wavelength {\lambda}=405 nm.
Such thin films can be used as contact optical components to boost the
resolution capability of conventional microscopes.
