Abstract:
A system for analyzing a sample includes an illumination source with a plurality of transmitting optical fibers optically coupled to the illumination source and a detector with a plurality of receiving optical fibers optically coupled to the detector. The system further includes a plurality of probes coupled to respective ones of the plurality of transmitting optical fibers and respective ones of the plurality of receiving optical fibers. The plurality of probes are configured to illuminate respective portions of a surface of the sample and configured to receive illumination reflected, refracted, or radiated from the respective portions of the surface of the sample. The system may further include one or more switches and/or splitters configured to optically couple respective ones of the plurality of transmitting optical fibers to the illumination source and/or configured to optically couple respective ones of the plurality of receiving optical fibers to the detector.

Claim (Index 51):
The method of  claim 47 , further comprising:\n supporting the sample with the one or more support members proximate to a second plurality of probes, the second plurality of probes coupled to respective ones of a second plurality of transmitting optical fibers and respective ones of a second plurality of receiving optical fibers; optically coupling a second illumination source to at least one transmitting optical fiber of the second plurality of transmitting optical fibers with a third switch to illuminate at least one portion of a backside surface of the sample with at least one probe of the second plurality of probes that is coupled to the at least one transmitting optical fiber of the second plurality of transmitting optical fibers, the at least one probe being further coupled to at least one receiving optical fiber of the second plurality of receiving optical fibers; and optically coupling a second detector to the at least one receiving optical fiber of the second plurality of receiving optical fibers with a fourth switch to receive illumination reflected, refracted, or radiated from the at least one portion of the backside surface of the sample via the at least one probe of the second plurality of probes.
