Fig. 1: Schematic of megapixel camera arrays.

a Five identical camera arrays were mounted on an air supported table. The associated workstations to run the Motif software were arranged in the two server racks underneath. b 3D schematic drawing of a single imaging unit (Kastl–Highres). The six cameras were mounted on a plate that is connected to the rig frame by three spring-loaded screws, and can be moved along the vertical axis. This allows for changing the focal plane of all six cameras at once. One of the imaging unit’s side panels is omitted from this view. c Technical drawing (front and side view) of an imaging unit annotated with dimensions in millimetres. d Using five identical units, 480 wells can be recorded simultaneously. Zooming in to the (e) camera, (f) well, (g) and worm level shows that this system achieves enough resolution to precisely track the nematodes. Each square well measures 8 × 8 mm.
