AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL, THE MOLE TELLS US WHAT, WHERE, WHEN

The Microprobe Molecular Optics Laser Examination (MOLE) system described here, consists of 4 or 5 basic modules and several peripherals for each one of the modules. A laser (argon ion, krypton, dye laser, etc.) is the monochromatic source of light used for irradiation of the sample. A standard optical microscope provides an illuminatory stage and forms a part of the imaging system. An imaging double monochromator spectrometer with 2 concave aberration correction gratings is the central part of the system. The detection system consists of 2 separate assemblies: a photomultiplier assembly, and a 3-stage image intensifier assembly. The instrument operates in 3 performance modes: the monochannel spectral mode; the multichannel spectral mode; and the imaging mode. Examples of applications in geochemistry, physics, biology and medicine are outlined.
