    Abstract: An apparatus and method for analyzing a tissue sample to provide depth-selective information includes at least one light source, collection light optics, and a light detector. The light source is configured to produce a light beam having one or more wavelengths of light that cause a tissue sample to produce Raman light signals upon interrogation of the tissue sample. The light beam is oriented to impinge on an exposed surface of the tissue sample at a point of incidence (POI), and oriented so that the light beam enters the tissue sample at an oblique angle relative to the exposed surface of the tissue sample. The collection light optics are configured to collect the Raman light signals emanating from the tissue sample at one or more predetermined lateral distances from the point of incidence. The light detector is configured to receive the Raman light signals from the collection light optics.
