Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and systems for nucleic acid sequencing that may include an objective coupled to an actuator, wherein the actuator is configured to move the objective over a surface of a substrate. In some embodiments, a droplet may be disposed on the surface of the substrate, and the droplet may be moved along with the objective. The distal end of the objective may include a material that provides a higher friction against the droplet than a material of the surface of the substrate. In some embodiments, the distal end of the objective may be immersed in a fluid as it is moved over the surface of the substrate. The substrate may include vertical walls within a region to retain the fluid.
