Example image of a single heat map in the stack that makes up the hyperspectral map used in this paper. This map (78 x 78 µm, 2 µm spacing) is of bronzite and has a total of 1600 total hyperspectral points. The map took approximately 7 hours and 21 minutes to complete. The intensity of the signal is set to reflect the intensity of the various points in the map at 1017 cm−1 . The red areas are areas of most intense signal ranging down to purple being the least intense or no signal at the given wavenumber.-- astro-ph.EP
