    Abstract: The disclosure relates to identifying one or more regions (100) of interest within a broader field of view (104) of a dynamic sample using one or more optical components (110 & 120) and illuminating photons. Once the region of interest (100) is identified within a section of the broader field of view (104), chemical information in the form of Raman spectrum is obtained from the region of interes (100) by focusing the illuminating photons of the optical components (110 & 120) on the region of interest (100).

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for imaging biological objects. A SERS surface is provided having enhancing structures uniformly distributed on the surface. The surface includes a two dimensional area of at least 5 x 105 nm. The enhancing structures may have a size, in at least one dimension of height, width and length, ranging from 100 nm to 1000 nm. A biological material is deposited on the SERS surface. The biological material on the SERS surface is illuminated using a monochromatic light source producing Raman scattered photons. The Raman scattered photons are filtered using a tunable filter into a plurality of predetermined wavelength bands. A two-dimensional array detector detects the filtered Raman scattered photons, in a spatially accurate manner. The results of filtering and detecting steps are combined to produce a plurality of spectrally resolved Raman images of the biological material.

    Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to a method and apparatus for providing an image of a sample. The apparatus includes an illuminating source for transmitting photons to a sample. The transmitted photons illuminate the sample or are scattered upon reaching the sample. A lens collects the scattered photons and transmits the scattered photons to a tunable filter for forming an image. The illuminating photons traveling from the illuminating source to the sample do not pass through the lens.
