indeed. and while new "nano-meta-materials" or even larger composites
are being developed at reasonable operating temperatures, these too
suffer from same limitations of range.
so an idealized metamaterial implementing a superlens is what we want,
even if hopelessly distant technology wise...
one day! :P
