  • Method and system for spectroscopic data analysis
    Patent number: 8589086
    Abstract: A method of analyzing spectroscopic data, the method comprising collecting spatially resolved measurement spectroscopic data of a sample for a series of measurements spots, assigning the measurement spots into a predefined set of spectral categories, based on characteristics of the spectroscopic data of the respective measurement spots, identifying groupings of the measurement spots based on their respective spectral categories and their spatial relationships, and assigning each grouping of measurement spots to a fundamental sample unit data object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 19, 2013
    Assignee: FEI Company
    Inventors: Paul Gottlieb, Michael Barnes, Brian William Bourke
