Claim Text:
1. A system for imaging a sample including at least one cell, the system comprising: a sample including at least one cell, a matrix of photosensors, the photosensors defining an optical axis Z, a first lamina disposed opposite the matrix of photosensors defining a face supporting the sample, and a set of optical elements disposed between the matrix of photosensors and the first lamina, the set of optical elements comprising: wherein a distance H along the optical axis of the photosensors between the face supporting the sample and the apex of each microlens is substantially between 0 and 1500 μm, wherein the at least one cell is covered by an arrangement comprising at least two adjacent photosensors in a first direction and two other adjacent photosensors in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, the at least two adjacent photosensors being located adjacent to the at least two other photosensors said photosensors being associated with the microlenses and said at least two adjacent photosensors in a first direction and said at least two other adjacent photosensors in the second direction providing an image of the at least one cell occupying at least 2×2 pixels.
