`
`Claim Listing:
`
`1-33. (Canceled)
`
`34. (Previously presented) A method for characterizing an analyte suspected to be present in a
`
`sample comprising:
`
`(a) obtaining a digital image of the sample with an imaging device, wherein the digital
`
`image comprises at least a two-dimensional array of pixels, and wherein each pixel
`
`comprises a plurality of intensity values, each of which corresponds to a distinct detection
`
`spectral region;
`
`(b) selecting an illumination wavelength based on the analyte suspected to be contained
`
`in the sample, and illuminating the sample with the selected illumination wavelength
`
`concurrently with obtaining the digital image;
`
`(c) correlating, with the aid of a programmable device, the obtained intensity values with
`
`a predetermined set of values that define a dynamic range of each detection spectral
`
`region; and
`
`(d) predicting the presence of said analyte in the sample based on said correlating of the
`
`obtained intensity values with a predetermined set of values.
`
`35. (Previously Presented) The method of claim 34, wherein the plurality of intensity values
`
`comprises intensity values for red, green, and blue detection spectral regions.
`
`36. (Canceled)
`
`37. (Previously presented) The method of claim 34 further comprising: subsequent to obtaining
`
`the digital image, (a) selecting another illumination wavelength; (b) illuminating the sample with
`
`the other selected illumination wavelength; (c) obtaining another digital image of the sample,
`
`wherein the digital image comprises at least a two-dimensional array of pixels, and wherein each
`
`pixel comprises a plurality of intensity values, each of which corresponds to a distinct detection
`
`spectral region; and (d) predicting the presence of said analyte in the sample based on the
`
`obtained intensity values from the digital image and said another digital image.
`
`38-94. (Canceled)
