Claim 21:
22. A method for imaging a sample, the method comprising:
illuminating a sample with oblique light using a first objective positioned adjacent to the sample;
capturing light from the sample also using the first objective; and
rotating the image plane of the captured light using a remote imaging module that is positioned remotely from the first objective and the sample, the remote imaging module comprising a second objective and a third objective that are positioned adjacent to each other, the second objective being a liquid-immersion objective immersed in a first liquid having a first index of refraction and the third objective being a liquid-immersion objective immersed in a different, second liquid having a different, second index of refraction, such that the second and third objectives are mismatched with each other in that they are surrounded by or immersed in different media having different indices of refraction.
