An apparatus for analyzing a plurality of samples in sample sites on a
substrate, the apparatus having an array of spaced apart light sources
coupled to a moveable support so that one or more of the light sources
can be selectively used; a frame for supporting the substrate; a detector
configured to detect light; an optical relay configured to transmit light
from at least one of the plurality of light sources to a sample site and
from the sample site to the detector; and a support structure for
supporting the frame, the detector and the optical relay.
