19 Claims

1. A method of imaging a sample using an array of micro optical elements, the method comprising:

scanning the array of micro optical elements along a scan pattern defined by an array of sequential positions to generate an image of the sample, wherein the array of sequential positions is an M×N array, M and N are each no less than 10, and M≥N;

wherein the image comprises tiles of pixels, the tiles each corresponding to a respective micro optical element in the array and the pixels each corresponding to a position in the array of sequential positions,

wherein, for each pair of a first pixel in a first one of the tiles and a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel, the second pixel being in a different one of the tiles than the first one of the tiles, a position difference between the position corresponding to the first pixel and the position corresponding to the second pixel is less than (MN−2M+1).
