The present invention provides a method for identifying biological objects on a substrate; the method comprises: (i) illuminating the substrate carrying the biological objects with a light beam; (ii) acquiring at least one optical image of the illuminated substrate; the light beam comprises a wavelength band, the wavelength band is selected to induce at least one optical aberration in the optical image of the illuminated substrate; the optical aberration is predetermined as characterizing the biological objects; and (iii) processing said at least one optical image to provide a value or a combination of values indicative of presence or absence of said at least one optical aberration; said value or combination of values permitting detection or identification of the biological objects on said substrate. The invention also provides a processing unit, a system and a database for use in connection with the method of the invention.

A processing unit for identifying a biological object in a sample, comprising:
A processing unit for determining at least one illumination condition for inducing a desired optical aberration in an imaged biological object in a sample, comprising:
A system for identifying biological object in a sample, comprising:
A database module that provides access to stored data items on a memory, the stored data items being associated with said biological object, the database module comprising a plurality of entries representing said biological object, each of the entries having at least one associated attribute configured to represent at least one illumination condition capable of inducing at least one optical aberration pre-determined as characterizing the biological object;
