ABSTRACT:
Methods and optical systems for scanning of a target sample, including methods and systems using a low mass scan head and methods and systems for conducting a scanned optically transduced assay where the scanning includes at least one first relative angular motion and at least one second angular motion or at least one linear motion. The present invention also relates to methods and systems for performing sample assays, and for producing and measuring optical responses and signatures.
