We present a multi-modal fiber array snapshot technique (M-FAST) based on an array of 96 compact cameras placed behind a primary objective lens and a fiber bundle array. Our technique is capable of large-area, high-resolution, multi-channel video acquisition. The proposed design provides two key improvements to prior cascaded imaging system approaches: a novel optical arrangement that accommodates the use of planar camera arrays, and a new ability to acquire multi-modal image data acquisition. M-FAST is a multi-modal, scalable imaging system that can acquire snapshot dual-channel fluorescence images as well as differential phase contrast measurements over a large 6.59 mm × 9.74 mm field-of-view at 2.2-μm center full-pitch resolution.
