1. An apparatus for obtaining data regarding a plurality of samples, comprising:
- a μ
OCT-based high-throughput screening system comprising at least one interferometer arrangement which receives interferometric information that is based on radiations provided from a reference interfered with each of the plurality of samples that are provided in a respective plurality of chambers; and
at least one computer arrangement which is configured to;
a. obtain dynamic tracking data regarding particles associated with the plurality of samples using the interferometric information, andb. determine mucus properties of the plurality of samples using the dynamic tracking data.

Abstract
Exemplary apparatus and method can be provided for obtaining data regarding a plurality of samples. For example, using at least one arrangement, it is possible to receive interferometric information that is based on radiations provided from a reference and the samples that are provided in respective chambers. Alternatively and/or in addition, based on the interferometric information, it is possible to discriminate between agents to identify a particular agent that affects a particular function within at least one of the samples.
