Abstract
Methods and systems for determining information about a sample are disclosed. The methods can include measuring spectral information for a sample and determining a quantity related to a signal-to-noise ratio for the spectral information, repeating the measuring and determining until a value of the quantity is beyond a threshold value, and comparing the spectral information to reference information to determine information about the sample.

A method, comprising:
- measuring spectral information for a sample and determining a quantity related to a signal-to-noise ratio for the spectral information;
- repeating the measuring and determining until a value of the quantity is beyond a threshold value;
- and

- a detector configured to measure radiation from the sample;
- and
- an electronic processor configured to:
- determine spectral information for a sample based on the measured radiation;
- determine a quantity related to a signal-to-noise ratio for the spectral information;
- repeat the measuring radiation, determining spectral information, and determining the quantity until a value of the quantity is beyond a threshold value;
