1. An optical scanner for producing a three dimensional fluorescence or luminescence scan, comprising: a pattern projector disposable to project an optical pattern onto an area; and an image detector configured to record a first image of the area in visible light, and a second image comprising at least one of a fluorescence or a luminescence of the area, wherein the optical pattern is suitable for computing a three dimensional surface profile of the area; and, the computed three dimensional surface profile of the area and the second image are superimposed for visual display.
