<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe array with a detection result obtained of a wide dynamic range without adjusting excitation light by changing its intensity in fluorescence observation. <P>SOLUTION: This probe array comprises a combination of a probe holding substrate 2 and a seat member 3. The holding substrate 2 includes first and second principal planes 4 and 5 extending in parallel to each other, and holds probe molecules 7 on a plurality of probe holding parts 6 thereof. The seat member 3 includes a reference plane 8 disposed in parallel to a fluorescence receiving surface while comprising a seat surface 10 supporting the holding substrate 2, the seat surface 10 extending in a direction not paralleling the reference plane 8. The holding parts 6 each have a plurality of surfaces making angles different from each other with the receiving surface, that is, a bottom surface and a plurality of rising wall surfaces rising from the bottom surface. Therefore, the plurality of surfaces can be made different from each other in sensitivity. As a result, a wide dynamic range can be materialized. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
