Dark-field imaging system

A dark-field imaging system (10) comprising:

• a platform (20) for holding biologic tissue or cells (30), constituting a plane (21) forming two half-spaces;
• a light source (40) generating an incident light (50) targeting the biologic tissue or cells (30);
• the light source (40) being placed at a first angle (a) relative to the plane (21);
• and a camera (60) to detect diffuse reflection (70) off the biologic tissue or cells (30), which is placed at a second angle (P) relative to the plane (21),
• wherein the light source (40), the camera (60), and the biologic tissue or cells (30) are arranged in the same one of the two half-spaces formed by the plane (21);
• wherein the incident light (50) that is not reflected by the biologic tissue or cells (30) reaches the platform (20);
• and
• wherein the platform (20) comprises a specularly reflecting material (25) that reflects the incident light (50) at least in part by specular reflection (80).
