OK, but Why?.

Titled “4 (Million) Eyes”:

This is a publicity shot for Micreon GmbH of Hannover, Germany. It took a pulsed titanium-sapphire laser to cut the eyeglass frames from an itty-bitty, thin sheet of tungsten, and then a pair of tweezers, a microscope, and two weeks of labor to get them on the (very dead) fly.

It’s supposed to “demonstrate the precision possible with femtosecond lasers.”

Ooookay.
