Abstract	Two novel methods for the detection of processed animal proteins based on a combination of optical microscopy with immunochemical detection techniques, and on a combination of Near Infrared Microscopy (NIRM) with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are presented. These combinations of methods add the possibility of obtaining species information on individual particles at a low level of detection. Such an on the spot identifi cation of microscopically identifi ed particles with respect to the source (species) would strongly enhance the support of the legislation, especially the species-tospecies ban. In this chapter experimental details on sample treatment and clean-up of individual particles as well as optimisation of detection procedures for both combinations of methods will be discussed in particular.
