摘要： Method and apparatus for use with a probe beam and detector for detecting the presence of a target analyte in a sample. The apparatus includes a substrate; and a biolayer located on the substrate designed to react to target analyte when the sample is deposited on the biolayer. The substrate can be selected to substantially minimize reflectance by the substrate while substantially maintaining scattering by the target analyte. The substrate can be designed so waves reflected by the substrate are substantially in quadrature with waves scattered by target analyte; or so waves reflected by the substrate and scattered by target analyte interfere in the far field and directly create intensity modulation detectable by the detector. The biolayer can include a plurality of spots, and the spots can be grouped into unit cells having specific antibodies and non-specific antibodies for reacting with target analyte.

The apparatus includes a platform for receiving the planar array and a first optical train for directing the probe beam at the platform in a substantially surface normal manner. The apparatus also includes an objective lens having a first side and a second side and having a focal length, the objective lens being offset on the first side of the lens from the platform by a first distance approximately equal to the focal length. The apparatus further includes split photodetector means for measuring a first quadrature and a second quadrature in a signal resulting from reflection of the probe laser beam.
