The present invention comprises an apparatus and a method of microscopy for, measuring depth dependent profiles of optical absorption photoluminescence , and, light scattering in thin films on length scales of a few micrometers to a several, millimeters. The principles of this invention are also directly extendable to imaging, absorption and scattering at other wavelengths and the scattering of , electrons, and neutrons in thin films on the same or shorter length scales. In the optical range, this, depth profile information is recovered by the direct recording of micrometer scale, images of a light beam propagating along the depth axis of the material under study. The recording is …
