Plot of output signal intensity from a spectrometer, signal intensity from another detector, or processed intensity information from the available software along a line corresponding to a line on the sample surface.
Note: The line is most often an x- or y-linescan from a rectangular raster, but, in more sophisticated systems, might be in any arbitrary direction.
