There are provided a control device of an image reading apparatus, an operation method and an operation program thereof, and an image detection system capable of quickly and easily outputting an image having an appropriate density for analysis from an image reading apparatus. An image receiving unit (80) receives a pre-image output in pre-scanning performed before main scanning for outputting a main image for analysis in an image reading apparatus (11). A region information receiving unit (81) receives information of a region in the pre-image designated by a user. A calculation unit (83) calculates an appropriate voltage value (HVM) that is a voltage value of the photomultiplier (31) at which a density of the region becomes an appropriate density for analysis. A scanning conditions setting unit (84) sets the appropriate voltage value (HVM) as temporary scanning conditions (76M) of main scanning.

Sensing device and method for detecting presence and concentration of generic target analytes of interest. The device and method are based on detecting changes in effective dielectric induced by the target analytes of interest. Applications of the invention include, but are not restricted to, detecting and characterizing the presence of chemical and/or biological target analytes of interest as well as detecting and characterizing target analytes of interest from a separation apparatus. In one embodiment of the invention, the device comprises at least two electrodes in a rigid architecture such as a solid surface, where the electrodes have sizes and inter-electrode spacings that are on the order of sizes of target analytes of interest to improve sensitivity of the device. Changes in effective dielectric and, therefore, capacitance induced by a presence of the target analytes of interest are measured electronically. The changes are used to detect the presence of the target analytes of interest and to characterize their presence.
