The acquisition process also includes exposing the object (12) and any associated foreign material to the interrogating signal (16) so as to cause interaction between the signal (16) and the object (12) and any associated foreign material. A modified signal resulting from the interaction of the interrogating signal with the object and any associated foreign material is then detected. The method also includes a signal processing and data reduction procedure. This procedure includes processing the modified signal to produce a data matrix (136) representative of at least any foreign or native material associated with the object (12), wherein each point in the data matrix (136) contains a representation of an amplitude of the modified signal at a given sampled frequency. The signal processing and data reduction procedure also includes providing a reference library of data representing known chemical or biological materials of interest and, following the processing of the modified signal and provision of the reference library of data, using correlation technique to compare the data matrix (136) to the reference library. This comparison is made in order to produce at least one correlation peak corresponding to at least one associated foreign or native material from the reference library data. The results of the foregoing comparison are then provided in order to determine the presence of foreign and/or native material in the object (12).
