MICRO-ARRAY ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

There is described a system (2) and a method for analyzing spots in a mic ro-array (5), the spots containing targeted specimen, the method comprising the steps of: providing a slide with a micro-array of the spots thereon; ill uminating at least one of the spots (500, 501); directing the light onto the at least one spot; collecting light emitted from the at least one spot; for ming an image of the at least one spot using the collected light (502); and analyzing the image to distinguish at least one unit of the targeted specime n located within the at least one spot from any undesired material (506, 507 ). The analysis results are aimed at the detection, classification and quant ification of optically resolvable specimen such as micro-organisms or cells.
