    Abstract: In a Raman spectroscopy apparatus, exciting light is focussed on a sample (26) as a line focus (38). Spectra from points in the line focus are dispersed in rows (46) on a CCD detector (34), having a two-dimensional array of pixels. The line focus moves longitudinally in a direction Y (arrow 48) relative to the sample. Simultaneously and synchronously, charge is shifted in a parallel direction Y' (arrow 50) within the CCD, so that data from a given point in the sample continues to accumulate. This ensures that the data from each sample point arises from illumination which is integrated along the line focus, and makes it easier to stitch the data together subsequently to form an image of the sample.

    Abstract: An electron microscope (10) is adapted to enable spectroscopic analysis of a sample (16). A parabolic mirror (18) has a central aperture (20) through which the electron beam can pass. The mirror (18) focuses laser illumination from a transverse optical path (24) onto the sample, and collects Raman and/or other scattered light, passing it back to an optical system (30). The mirror (18) is retractable (within the vacuum of the electron microscope) by a sliding arm assembly (22). An adjustable kinematic mount (44) defines the inserted position of the parabolic mirror (18). A second parabolic mirror (104) is provided to direct the scattered or generated light towards an optical analyser. The parabolic mirrors are positioned in an aberration cancelling orientation and such that they compensate for inaccuracies in the position of the sliding arm assembly (22).

    Abstract: A spectroscopic probe includes a monolithic block (10) of transparent material and GRIN lenses (20, 22, 24). Light for illuminating a sample is delivered by an optical fibre (31), and light scattered by the sample is output by an optical fibre (33). The block (10) has opposing angled faces (12A, 12B), coated with a dichroic filter coating and a reflective coating respectively. A method for making blocks (10) is also disclosed, in which the coatings are first provided on a large sheet, and blocks (10) are then cut from the sheet using angled cuts. Since the coated block reduces the number of components required, the probe can be miniaturised, e.g. for use in an endoscope.
