Abstract
A multi-surface image acquisition system includes a multi-surface observation prism which includes one or more prisms and has a light path formed to collect surfaces in respective directions to be observed of a subject having a three-dimensional structure into one direction, in which a light path length is corrected by utilizing a difference in refractive index between glass and air to equalize a working distance of each surface. A light field camera expands a focal-depth adjustment range for two or more images focused on same plane through the prism. A three-dimensional subject can be observed in multiple directions at the same time, including an observation of cells.
