1. A microscopy system comprising:
a first objective positioned adjacent to a sample to be imaged, the first objective being configured to both illuminate the sample with oblique illumination light and collect light from the sample; and
a remote imaging module positioned remotely from the first objective and the sample, the remote imaging module being configured to rotate the image plane of the collected light to account for an angle of the oblique illumination light, the remote imaging module including a second objective and a third objective, wherein the second objective is an air objective and the third objective is a liquid-immersion objective, such that the second and third objectives are mismatched with each other in that they are configured to be surrounded by or immersed in different media having different indices of refraction.
