Claim One:
1. A system for detection, interrogating a sample using a probe array configured to be responsive to a plurality of particles wherein the probe array generates one or more identifiable signals following interaction with the sample particles and wherein the sample composition is resolved, at least in part, by identifying the signals associated with each constituent probe of the array, the system comprising: a platform that supports an array of samples; a segmented detector configured to detect at least a portion of one or more identifiable signals associated with each sample wherein the position of each signal on a plurality of pixels forms an optical image; a movement mechanism that provides a relative movement between the platform and the segmented detector wherein the relative movement provides a lateral movement of the optical image in sub-pixel sized steps; and A processor configured to provide sub-pixel sized steps to yield a combined signal associated with a combination of images that results from the sub-pixel sized steps.
