ABSTRACT:
An array of microscopes and a method of imaging an object with the array of microscopes. The array includes a plurality of optical elements being individually disposed with respect to a corresponding image plane and configured to image respective sections of an object, and includes a plurality of image sensors corresponding to respective optical elements and configured to capture corresponding representations of the respective sections of the object. The method includes imaging respective sections of an object with a plurality of optical elements and capturing corresponding representations of sections of the object from a plurality of image sensors.
