Abstract
The dual requirement for high spatial and substance specificity makes stand-off in-theatre biological detection of surface biological contaminants extremely challenging. We will describe a novel combined fluorescence multispectral imaging (MSI) and stand-off Raman approach which are united through their use of deep-UV (sub-250 nm excitation. This allows high-confidence location and classification of candidate contamination sites over the camera field of view, and subsequent resonance-Raman classification of these identified sites. Stand-off Raman is enabled through the use of a novel, extremely high-throughput Spatial Heterodyne spectrometer. The viability of this approach is confirmed through its use on application relevant biological simulant samples.
