Abstract
A method of analysis or diagnosis of solid objects is based on real-time detection of how predefined probes interact with structures present on or in the solid object combined with the calculation of how the recorded binding curves of said probes are distributed in terms of interaction properties. The interaction properties are input to a classification algorithm which automatically determines statues of the solid object. The method is particularly advantageous for solid biological objects like tissue slices combined with antibody probes, said antibody recognizing receptors known to be over-expressed in disease states on said tissue slice.
