1. A device comprising:
a relay element formed of one or more structures, the relay element having a first surface, a second surface, a transverse orientation and a longitudinal orientation;
wherein the first surface has a surface area different than the second surface;
wherein the relay element comprises a sloped profile portion between the first surface and the second surface;
wherein energy waves propagating between the first surface and the second surface travel substantially parallel to the longitudinal orientation due to a substantially higher transport efficiency in the longitudinal orientation than in the transverse orientation;
wherein the energy waves passing therethrough the relay element result in spatial magnification or spatial de-magnification; and
wherein the energy waves passing through the first surface has a first resolution, wherein the energy waves passing through the second surface has a second resolution, and wherein the second resolution is no less than about 50% of the first resolution.
