Hirschfeld, T

The boom in electron and ion microbeam methods, with its overwhelming proliferation of new methods (and acronyms) and eager exploitation of every available technological advance, has tended to obscure the very wide usage of the corresponding optical methods. These outgrowths of the enormous field of visual optical microscopy are, however, quite alive and kicking, and their unique capabilities are becoming more appreciated as more and more advanced optical technology is being applied to the field. This review of optical microprobe techniques includes uv-VIS absorption techniques, fluorescence microspectroscopy, Raman measurements, and other microprobes such as the infrared ones, scatter, and the various partially optical methods. Also discussed are technological advances that may impact these fields. The natural place of microspectroscopy is shown to be as a higher discrimination, lower resolution companion of electron and ion beam microprobes.
