Abstract
Optical scanner system approaches are described in which signal saturation data is produced in real-time. The data generated may be used for tuning a subsequent scan, in protection of optical detector components from damage or otherwise. Approaches for obtaining and storing or expressing the data are also disclosed. Also provided are methods of using the subject system is biopolymer array based application, including genomic and proteomic applications.
