We show that a graphene pnp junction with a central superconducting electrode acts as a Veselago lens for incoming electrons by focusing them and their phase-conjugated counterpart (holes) into different points of the optical axis. This selective focusing suggested by a simple trajectory analysis is confirmed by fully microscopic calculations. Although the focusing pattern is degraded by deviations from the ideal conditions we show that it remains visible for a wide range of parameters. We discuss how this property can be useful for the detection of entangled electron pairs.
