An imaging system, comprising
- an optical housing having a first lens and second lens separated by a first distance, wherein a reflective component is positioned on a side of the second lens opposite the first lens;
- and
- an imaging platform positioned on a side of the first lens opposite the second lens, the imaging platform having at least one transparent region configured to hold a sample at a second distance from the first lens.
A microscope, comprising:
- an optical housing having a first lens and second lens separated by a first distance, wherein a reflective component is positioned on a side of the second lens opposite the first lens;
- and
- an imaging platform positioned on a side of the first lens opposite the second lens, the imaging platform comprising:
