Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for a fiberscope. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a chemical imaging fiberscope for imaging and collecting optical spectra from a sample having at least one illumination fiber (14) for transmitting light from a first an a second light source to a distal end of a fiberscope; a dichroic mirror (30) disposed at said distal end of the fiberscope such that the light from said first light source passes substantially straight through said mirror and light of a predetermined wavelength from said second light source is substantially reflected by said mirror toward said sample to thereby illuminate said sample; and at least one collection fiber (38) for receiving light from said illuminated sample and transmitting the received light to an optical device.
