Polyscope: Ultra-flexible polygon scanning microscope system

High resolution optical imaging plays an important role for preclinical (mice models) and clinical diagnosis (tissue pathology). The holy grail of an optical microscope is to capture the widest possible field of view (millimetres) that includes all microscopic (micrometres) details within it at the shortest amount of time (seconds). Although existing laser scanning microscopy offers the highest optical resolution, their bulky form factor of laser scanning systems often require large spaces to accommodate. As such, it limits their use in different imaging requirements. In addition to that, most laser scanning systems have limited imaging constraints that do not offer a large dynamic range of imaging speeds and pixel resolutions.
