We have integrated a microfabricated phase Fresnel lens (PFL) with an ion trap and used it to image a 174Yb+ ion. The observed collection efficiency was 4.1± 1.3%, in agreement with a predicted performance of 4.6% based on optical characterization and suitable for use in quantum computing. A maximum signal to background scatter noise of 23±4 was measured near saturation intensity (s = 0.7). The depth of focus was 11 μm and the field of view in excess of 100 μm across.
