The disclosure relates to Method and Apparatus for Super Montage Large
area Spectroscopic Imaging. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a method
for producing a spectroscopic image of an object includes the steps of
(a) irradiating the object with light to thereby produce from the object
scattered and/or emitted light for each of a plurality of wavelengths;
(b) producing separately for each of the plurality of wavelengths a
plurality of substantially contiguous sub-images of the object; (c)
compensating for spatial aberrations in ones of the sub-images for a
select one of the plurality of wavelengths; (d) compensating for
intensity aberrations between ones of the substantially contiguous
sub-images for one of the plurality of wavelengths; and (e) combining the
sub-images for the select one wavelength to thereby produce said
spectroscopic image of the object.
