ABSTRACT:
A multiple-axis imaging system having individually-adjustable optical elements and a method for individually adjusting optical elements of the system. The system comprises a plurality of optical elements having respective optical axes and being individually disposed with respect to one another to image respective sections of an object, and a plurality of individually-operable positioning devices corresponding to respective optical elements for positioning the optical elements with respect to their respective optical axes. The positioning devices are specifically adapted to adjust the axial position, lateral position and angular orientation of the optical elements with respect to their respective optical axes. The system is particularly adapted for use as a microscope array, and the positioning devices may be micro-actuators.
