Abstract
A microscope system includes a sample tray to hold a plurality of samples to be imaged in parallel. An illumination source generates illumination light and a plurality of spatial light modulators are each positioned to spatially modulate the illumination light onto a corresponding one of the samples. Relay optics are positioned in an optical path between the sample tray and the plurality of spatial light modulators to image the samples onto the plurality of spatial light modulators. A plurality of first cameras is positioned to capture images in parallel of the samples in the sample tray by imaging the plurality of spatial light modulators.
