    Abstract: A spectral imaging device (1312) for capturing one or more, two-dimensional, spectral images (1313A) of a sample (1310) including (i) an image sensor (1328), (ii) an illumination source (1314), (iii) a beam path adjuster (1362), and (iv) a control system (1330). The illumination source (1314) that generates an illumination beam (1316) that is directed along an incident sample beam path (1360) at the sample (1310). The beam path adjuster (1362) selectively adjusts the incident sample beam path (1360). The control system (1330) controls (i) the illumination source (1314) to generate the illumination beam during the first capture time, (ii) the image sensor (1328) during the first capture time to capture first information for the first spectral image (1313A), and (iii) the beam path adjuster (1362) to selectively adjust the incident sample beam path (1360) relative to the sample (1310) during the first capture time while the image sensor (1328) is accumulating the information for the first spectral image (1313A).

    Abstract: A spectral imaging device (12) includes an image sensor (28), a tunable light source (14), an optical assembly (17), and a control system (30). The optical assembly (17) includes a first refractive element (24A) and a second refractive element (24B) that are spaced apart from one another by a first separation distance. The refractive elements (24A) (24B) have an element optical thickness and a Fourier space component of the optical frequency dependent transmittance function. Further, the element optical thickness of each refractive element (24A) (24B) and the first separation distance are set such that the Fourier space components of the optical frequency dependent transmittance function of each refractive element (24A) (24B) fall outside a Fourier space measurement passband.

    Abstract: A laser assembly (12) for providing an output beam (18) includes a gain medium (16) and a laser housing (20) that retains the gain medium (16). The gain medium (16) generates the output beam (18) when electrical power is directed to the gain medium (16). The laser housing (20) includes a reference redirector (20A) that is used to a reference datum to check the alignment of the output beam (18) relative to the laser housing (20). The reference redirector (20A) can be a mirror that is integrated into the laser housing.
