1. An imaging system, comprising:
a plurality of microscope assemblies arranged radially around a central axis of the imaging system, coupled to vertically oriented plates with a set of objectives arranged at tops of the plurality of microscope assemblies and wherein the plates are oriented to extend away from the central axis in a radial direction to form an x-shaped configuration,
wherein an inner side of each of the plates is proximate to the central axis and each objective of the set of objectives is aligned with the inner side of one of the plates, and
wherein the plurality of microscope assemblies includes tube lenses, each tube lens of the tube lenses positioned below one objective of the set of objectives along the inner side of one of the plates, insulating camera mounts located below the tube lenses, cameras coupled to the camera mounts, laser auto-focus systems oriented parallel with a height of the plates and aligned with an outer side of each of the plates, the outer side opposite of the inner side, and light sources coupled to a central region of each of the plates, at front faces of the plates between the tube lenses and the laser auto-focus systems.
