An apparatus (500) for spectroscopic measurements, the apparatus comprising: - an illumination unit (110) for forming
narrowband light pulses (B2 t1 , B2 t2 ) having different wavelengths (l1, l2) for illuminating an object (OBJ1) with the
narrowband light pulses (B2 t1 , B2 t2 ), - a sensor (SEN1) for detecting light (B3) received from the object (OBJ1), - a
control unit (CNT1) for controlling an operation of the sensor (SEN1), wherein the illumination unit (110) comprises: a
broadband light source (LS1) for generating
broadband light pulses (B1), a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI1) for forming the
narrowband light pulses (B2) by filtering the
broadband light pulses (B1), wherein the
broadband light source (LS1) is configured to generate a first broadband light pulse (B1 t1 ) at a first trigger time (t1) and a second broadband light pulse (B1 t2 ) at a second trigger time (t2), wherein the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI1) is tunable by moving a mirror (M2) of the Fabry-Perot interferometer, wherein the illumination unit (110) is configured to operate such that the movement of the mirror (M2) does not stop between the first trigger time (t1) and the second trigger time (t2), wherein a
start time (t EX1 ) of a first
exposure time (Deltat A1 ) and a duration of the first
exposure time (Deltat EX1 ) of the sensor (SEN1) are controlled such that the illumination unit (110) forms the first broadband light pulse (B1 EX1 ) and the second broadband light pulse (B1 t1 ) during the first
exposure time (Deltat t2 ).
