wide-field
Expansive visual coverage
Wide-field describes optical instruments or imaging techniques that capture a broad area of view rather than magnifying a small region.
A wide-field telescope surveys large portions of the sky at once, useful for discovering comets or mapping star fields.
Wide-field microscopy illuminates an entire sample rather than scanning point by point.
