illuminate a sample, and forms an image by acquiring far field back-scattered photons.
A partial spectrum of the back-scattered light intensity is recorded and analyzed.;
NCIt note : This technique is being tested as a cancer prescreening method as it can detect cellular
architecture abnormalities at a higher resolution than other histological screens.;
