  Hyperspectroscopy is a new method of surface image taking, providing
simultaneously high position and spectral resolutions which allow one to make
some conclusions about chemical compositions of the surfaces. We are now
studying applications of the hyperspctroscopic technique to be used for
medicine. This may allow one to develop early diagnostics of some illnesses, as
for example, skin cancer. For image taking advanced MCPs are currently used,
sensitive in the spectral interval of 450-850 nm. One of the aims of this work
is to extend the hyperspectrocpic method to the UV region of spectra: 185-280
nm. For this we have developed and successfully tested innovative 1D and 2D UV
sealed photosensitive gaseous detectors with resistive electrodes. These
detectors are superior MCPs due to the very low rate of noise pulses and thus
due to the high signal to noise ratio. Other important features of these
detectors are that they have excellent position resolutions - 30 micron in
digital form, are vibration stable and are spark protected. The first results
from the application of these detectors for spectroscopy, hyperspectroscopy and
the flame detection are presented.
