ABSTRACT:
An optical scanning apparatus for scanning an array of sample regions carried on the surface of a substrate is disclosed. The apparatus includes a beam generator for generating a light beam effective to produce detectable light from such sample regions, and scanning optics for scanning the beam in one direction corresponding to a linear array of such sample regions. Light emitted from the linear array is imaged through an imaging system whose optical axis is angularly offset from the optical axis of the illumination beam, onto a photodetector. The optical configuration achieves high performance with relatively simple optics.
