US 2014/0211199 A1 · MULTIPLE CONCURRENT SPECTRAL ANALYSES

Abstract

According to an example, apparatuses for performing multiple concurrent spectral analyses on a sample under test include an optical system to concurrently direct a plurality of light beams onto analytes at multiple locations on the sample under test, in which the plurality of light beams cause light in either or both of a Raman spectra and a non-Raman spectra to be emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test. The apparatuses also include a detector to concurrently acquire a plurality of spectral measurements of the light emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test. Example methods of performing spectral analysis include use of the apparatuses.

An apparatus for performing multiple concurrent spectral analyses on a sample under test, said apparatus comprising:

an optical system to concurrently direct a plurality of light beams onto analytes at multiple locations on the sample under test, wherein the plurality of light beams cause light in either or both of a Raman spectra and a non-Raman spectra to be emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test;
and
a detector to concurrently acquire a plurality of spectral measurements of the light emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test.

A method for performing spectral analysis on a sample under test, said method comprising:

concurrently directing a plurality of light beams onto analytes at multiple locations on the sample under test, wherein the plurality of light beams cause light in either or both of a Raman spectra and a non-Raman spectra to be emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test;
concurrently acquiring a plurality of spectral measurements of the light emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test;
and
processing the plurality of spectral measurements to generate spectral representations of the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test, wherein each of the generated spectral measurements includes at least one of the Raman spectra and the non-Raman spectra.
