1. An interrogation system comprising:

  • a tunable laser that has a tuning range wherein an optical beam is emitted therefrom which has a predetermined sequence of distinct wavelengths over a predetermined time period;

    illumination optics that converts the optical beam into one or more interrogation beams which illuminate one or more biosensors;

    imaging optics that collects an image from the illuminated one or more biosensors;

    a 2-D imaging device that obtains a sequence of the collected images each of which corresponds with one of the distinct wavelengths of the optical beam emitted from said tunable laser; and

    a data processing device that receives the collected images and processes the collected images.
