An optical resonance analysis system comprising a sensor means () and an illumination means () for generating non-monochromatic illumination. The illumination means () further comprises a means for generating illumination at a plurality of angles, a lens system for projecting said illumination at said plurality of angles () and a dispersive device () for dispersing said illumination at each of said plurality of angles so that there is a correlation between said plurality of angles and the wavelengths of said illumination such that a resonance condition is generated on said sensor mean () for all wavelengths generated by said non-monochromatic source simultaneously. The analysis system also comprises a detection means () for detecting the reflected or transmitted illumination. Another embodiment comprises an anamorphic imaging means ().
