Disclosed is an assay device, having at least one optical fiber array with wells etched in one end of each of the fibers, and several microbeads adapted to be coated with cells of the same cellular type, wherein the microbeads are designed to be accommodated, one in each well, and wherein the microbeads are encoded to indicate which cellular type it is coated with. Each microbead has at least one assay reporter associated with it, wherein the assay reporter can be detected at the distal end of the optical fiber array. A charge coupled device can be positioned at the distal end of the fibers to record the assay images.
