Abstract

A device including a light source, an image sensor, and a holder defining two positions between the light source and the image sensor. Each position is able to receive an object with a view to its observation. An optical system is placed between the two positions. Thus, when an object is placed in a first position, it may be observed, through the optical system, via a conventional microscopy modality. When an object is placed in the second position, it may be observed via a second lensless imagery modality.
