1. Device for optical imaging, comprising:

  • at least one micro lens field comprising at least two micro lenses;

    an image sensor comprising at least two image detector matrices;

    wherein the at least two image detector matrices each comprise a plurality of image detectors;

    wherein an image detector corresponds to one pixel of the image sensor;

    wherein an allocation between the image detector matrices and the micro lenses exists, so that each micro lens together with an image detector matrix forms an optical channel;

    wherein center points of different image detector matrices are shifted laterally by different distances, with respect to centroids, projected onto the image detector matrices, of the micro lens apertures of the associated optical channels, so that at least two of the optical channels comprise different partially overlapping detection areas and so that an overlapping area of the detection areas of two channels is imaged onto the image detector matrices offset with respect to an image detector raster of the image detector matrices;

    wherein the device is implemented to generate, in each optical channel, a micro image of the respective detection area;

    wherein each of the micro images comprises a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the plurality of pixels is formed by an imaging of an object cell onto an image detector; and

    wherein the micro image of a first optical channel is interleaved with the micro image of a second optical channel such that along a line, neighboring object cells of the overlapping area of the first and the second channel are alternatingly associated to different micro images.
