A novel concept of capillary magneto-electrostatic (CAMEL) optics is presented. The concept is based on the use of thin liquid films pressed through a porous substrate and quickly pulled back after the optical pulse, thereby allowing one to create optical elements anew after every pulse. Possible optical elements include planar and focusing mirrors, reflecting diffraction gratings, and reflecting zone plates. A set of engineering equations required for design of the CAMEL optics is presented.
