Abstract:
1. An apparatus for performing multiple concurrent spectral analyses on a sample under test, said apparatus comprising: an optical system to concurrently direct a plurality of light beams onto analytes at multiple locations on the sample under test, wherein the plurality of light beams cause light in either or both of a Raman spectra and a non-Raman spectra to be emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test; and a detector to concurrently acquire a plurality of spectral measurements of the light emitted from the analytes at the multiple locations of the sample under test, wherein a first location of the multiple locations on the sample under test is functionalized for detecting a particular analyte and a second location of the multiple locations on the sample under test is functionalized for detecting an analyte that differs from the particular analyte.
