| 1. A method comprising:
obtaining a digital image of a sample having a first plurality of pixels;
obtaining a first spectroscopic data set of the sample, the spectroscopic data set corresponding to a second plurality of
pixels;
mapping the first plurality of pixels to the second plurality of pixels to associate the digital image of the sample with
the first spectroscopic data set;
selecting a first region of interest from the digital image of the sample, the first region of interest defined by a subset
of the first plurality of pixels; and
obtaining a second spectroscopic data set for the first region of interest by identifying a subset of the second plurality
of pixels corresponding to the subset of the first plurality of pixels.
