Abstract

Limited rotation, micro-lens scanning of DNA arrays, microscope slides, biological materials, etc., is performed by arcuate and translational motion. A scanning system includes an objective lens located on a low moment of inertia oscillating arm, which provides optical coupling to a light source or a light detector arranged for transmission, reflection, or fluorescence microscopy.
