Abstract
Fluorescently marked targets bind to a substratesynthesized with polymer sequences at known locations. The targets are detected by exposing selected regions of the substrateto light from a light sourceand detecting the photons from the light fluoresced therefrom, and repeating the steps of exposure and detection until the substrateis completely examined. The resulting data can be used to determine binding affinity of the targets to specific polymer sequences.
