Fluorescent scans of DNA microarrays generated in three different ways. (a) A manually prepared array with its corresponding line scan and fluorescent signal over two red and two green spots. (b) An array prepared in a slide cycler can be seen. Here the corresponding line scan shows a cavity that has been filled with two DNA strands. Therefore, a red and a green signal is observed for this spot. (c) An array that has been prepared with an automated cartridge system. All red channels of the images were normalized to the median of fluorescent values of the green channels.
