Claim One:
1. A microscopy system comprising: a light source for transmitting a single light beam; a first microlens array for splitting the single light beam into a plurality of light beams for forming at least one multi-focal pattern; a scanner for scanning the plurality of light beams that forms the at least one multi-focal pattern onto a sample such that the sample generates a plurality of fluorescent emissions with each of the at least one multi-focal pattern; a pinhole array to block out-of-focus fluorescent emissions for each of the at least one multi-focal pattern and allowing through in-focus florescent emissions to pass through the pinhole array; a second microlens array for producing a non-inverted image of the plurality of light beams having a one half magnification, wherein the scanner rescans the non-inverted image of the plurality of light beams; and a camera for capturing the scanned non-inverted image.
