A device for observing a sample includes a light source; an image sensor, comprising several pixels; and a microlens array comprising several convergent microlenses, each: microlens being disposed facing a pixel, each microlens comprising an image focus, each microlens being configured to form, from light waves being propagated in parallel incidence, a light wave beam converging towards the image focus of said microlens. The device is configured to hold the sample between the light source and the plurality of microlenses. The device includes several attenuating elements each attenuating element being associated with a microlens and with a pixel, each attenuating element being configured to attenuate the light waves converging towards the image focus of the lens with which it is associated.
