Conventional microscopy limits how much information we can capture about microscopic specimens. In particular, there is a tradeoff between field of view (FOV) and resolution. Here, we present a new parallelized microscope that can image up to 16 gigapixels over wide FOVs at micrometer resolutions. Our multi-camera array microscope (MCAM) consists of 48 micro-cameras, packed closely together to directly image different areas in parallel. We will demonstrate 2D and 3D brightfield, differential phase contrast (DPC), and fluorescence imaging with various specimens.
