Abstract
An apparatus accesses and processes reflection images detected from microarray biochips with sidewalls. The apparatus uses a movable system to carry an optical module and a microtiter plate to achieve relative movement in different directions, so that pattern images of all wells in the microtiter plate can be retrieved during a single scanning process. Scanned image data are further compared with pre-defined patterns by a computer program for analysis.
