    Abstract: Imaging systems and methods comprising imaging a first interior surface and a second interior surface of a flow cell are described. In some embodiments, the imaging systems may comprise: a) an objective lens; b) at least one image sensor; and c) at least one tube lens disposed in an optical path between the objective lens and the at least one image sensor; wherein the at least one tube lens is configured to correct imaging performance such that images of the first interior surface of the flow cell and the second interior surface of the flow cell have substantially the same optical resolution.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for sequencing a nucleic acid molecule are described that comprise imaging a first surface and an axially-displaced second surface using a compensation-free optical system, the system comprising an objective lens and at least one image sensor, wherein said optical system has a numerical aperture (NA) of less than 0.6 and a field-of-view (FOV) of greater than 1.0 mm2; and) processing the images of the first surface and the axially-displaced second surface to correct for optical aberration such that the images of the first surface and the axially-displaced second surface have substantially the same optical resolution.
