<p>A spectroscope whereby it is possible to determine the portion of the sample where spectroscopic data was spectroscopically measured. A spectroscope (102) derives the position of a measuring head (104) during the spectroscopic measurement according to the principle of triangulation and associates the result of the spectroscopic measurement with the result of the derivation of the position of the measuring head (104). The position where the spectroscopic measurement is performed can be identified by projecting a point marker (592) onto the sample (190) from the measuring head and capturing the image of the sample onto which the point marker (592) is projected by means of a two-dimensional image-capturing camera.</p>
