We describe a charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging system for microarrays capable of acquiring quantitative, high dynamic range images of very large fields. Illumination is supplied by an arc lamp, and filters are used to define excitation and emission bands. The system is linear down to fluorochrome densities <1000. Resolution referred to the sample is 10 microm, sufficient for obtaining quantitative multicolor images from >30,000 array elements in an 18 mm x 18 mm square.
