Abstract: An apparatus and method for analyzing particulates in a sample is disclosed. The method includes placing the sample on a moveable stage in an apparatus having a tunable MIR light scanner and a visible imaging system, the stage moving between the MIR light scanner and the visible imaging system, providing a visible image of the sample, and receiving user input as to a region of the sample that is to be analyzed. The sample is then moved to the MIR light scanner, the MIR light scanner generating an MIR light beam that is focused to a point on the specimen and measuring light reflected from the specimen. The specimen is then scanned at a first MIR wavelength by moving the specimen relative to the MIR light beam, and particles are identified that meet a selection criterion. The MIR absorption spectrum of each of the identified particle is then automatically measured.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating images of specimens is disclosed. The apparatus includes an imaging system, controller, and user interface. The imaging system generates a plurality of component images of a specimen, each component image corresponding to a different viewing condition. Each image is represented by an intensity as a function of location on the specimen. The controller stores the component images and generates a compound image from a plurality of the component images. The compound image includes a weighted sum of first and second ones of the component images, the controller displaying the compound image on a display controlled by the controller. The user interface is adapted to control a weighting factor used in generating the weighted sum in response to user input. The controller redisplays the compound image after the weighting factor is changed in response to user input.

Abstract: An imaging scanner and a method for using the same are disclosed. The scanner includes a variable attenuator adapted to receive a light beam generated by a MIR laser and that generates an attenuated light beam therefrom characterized by an attenuation level. The scanner includes an optical assembly that focuses the attenuated light beam to a point on a specimen. A light detector measures an intensity of light leaving the point on the specimen, the light detector being characterized by a detector dynamic range. A controller forms a plurality of MIR images from the intensity as a function of position on the specimen, each of the plurality of MIR images being formed with a different level of attenuation of the light beam. The controller combines the plurality of MIR images to generate a combined MIR image having a dynamic range greater than the detector dynamic range.
