We report on the special sub-Doppler features of high-resolution spectroscopy in a thin cell, in conditions when the atomic free path is anisotropic as due to the special cell geometry. The most recent developments include linear spectroscopy under normal incidence, an extension to transition between excited states, and the observation of atoms flying under grazing incidence in a pump-probe scheme with spatially separated beams
