Abstract:
A spectral imaging device ( 12 ) includes an image sensor ( 28 ), an illumination source ( 14 ), a refractive, optical element (24A), a mover assembly ( 24 C) ( 29 ), and a control system ( 30 ). The image sensor ( 28 ) acquires data to construct a two-dimensional spectral image (13A) during a data acquisition time ( 346 ). The illumination source ( 14 ) generates an illumination beam ( 16 ) that illuminates the sample ( 10 ) to create a modified beam ( 16 I) that follows a beam path (16B) from the sample ( 10 ) to the image sensor ( 28 ). During the data acquisition time ( 346 ), the control system ( 30 ) controls the illumination source ( 14 ) to generate the illumination beam ( 16 ), and controls the image sensor ( 28 ) to capture the data. Further, during the data acquisition time ( 346 ), an effective optical path segment ( 45 ) of the beam path (16B) is modulated.

Claim (Index 2):
The spectral imaging device of  claim 1  wherein the imaging optical assembly includes a refractive, optical element that is positioned along the beam path between the sample and the image sensor, the refractive optical element being spaced apart a separation distance from the sample along the beam path, and wherein the spectral imaging device includes a mover assembly that moves at least one of the sample and the optical element along the beam path to change the separation distance and adjust the effective optical path segment during the data acquisition time.
