1. A biological sample image collection device comprising:
a support;
an optical imaging assembly; comprising:
a plurality of movable platforms movably connected to the support, and configured for placing biological samples and driving the biological samples to move, the plurality of movable platforms being distributed to form an array on the support, the plurality of movable platforms can move closer to or away from a center of the array simultaneously, forces acting on the support during such movement are balanced in opposition and offset each other, to avoid vibration of the support and the biological samples caused by the movement; and
an optical imaging assembly configure to collecting images of biological samples on the movable platform when the plurality of movable platforms moves relative to the support platform.
