  We present a new Multimodal 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. which 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 the 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 d phase contrast measurements over a large 8x10mm^2 FOV at
2.2um full-pitch resolution.
