Claim One:
1. A technique for analyzing an output pattern of a biological sample applied to an array to determine the presence of specific constituents within a biological sample applied to the array, wherein the output pattern comprises signals associated with noise, and signals correlating to the biological sample with the signals correlating to the biological sample having intensities both greater and less than the signals associated with noise, the method comprising the steps of: segmenting the output pattern of the array using tessellation; interferometrically enhancing the segmented output pattern to amplify signals associated with the biological sample, having an intensity lower than the intensity of signals associated with noise, to an intensity greater than the intensity of the signals associated with noise to generate a modified output pattern; associating signals within the interferometrically enhanced segmented output pattern with specific constituents within the biological sample; and determining specific constituents within the biological sample based on the signals within the interferometrically enhanced segmented output pattern associated with specific constituents within the biological sample.
