The invention contemplates scanning-microscope display of plural observed parameters of an examined specimen, where the parameters derive from flying-spot light-exposure of the specimen, and where at least one of the observed parameters is outside the wavelength range of the flying-spot. In some illustrative embodiments, at least one of the observed parameters is sensed by a detector which uses the same scanning optics as the flying-spot, and in other embodiments other techniques of synchronization are involved. The disclosed embodiments also provide for selective arrest of scanning to enable such factors as fading fluorescence and spectrum analysis to be ascertained strictly for a surface occlusion, impurity or other anomaly of interest.

Method and apparatus for light-induced scanning-microscope display of

The invention contemplates a combination of laser source and Raman cell construction whereby a wide uninterrupted spectrum of radiation is obtainable, providing Stokes-Raman emission which extends from the laser-radiation wavelength and far into the infrared region. This is achieved by devising a laser-radiation spectral capability which spans a wavelength range corresponding to the Raman displacement for the particular cell.
