Abstract

Spectral imaging, whether accomplished using liquid crystal tunable filters, especially agile sources, or other techniques, significantly outperforms color analysis approaches based on RGB imaging systems in samples relevant to current pathology practice. How much spectral resolving power is actually needed remains to be determined, but currently it appears that, up to a point, more spectral images are better, improving the ability of the present algorithms to separate overlapping signals with minimal cross-talk.
