A method to capture microscopy images from multiple image sensors and to relay them to one or more central processing units with high frame rates can include preprocessing the image data from the image sensors to reduce the sizes of the captured images, before sending the image data to a central processing station for analysis. Using multiple image sensors and an image reduction process, large image frames of over 20 megapixels and up to 1 gigapixel or more can be obtained at high imaging frame rates of 30 or more to up to hundreds or thousands of frames per second.
