Abstract
The invention relates to a grazing angle microscope for spectroscopic applications. A novel light path having two shifting planar mirrors permits spectroscopic investigation of a sample area off the optical microscope axis at grazing angles as well as visual viewing at steeper angles of incidence of the light.
