A medical imaging device configured to spatially resolve recording of multispectral video data of an examination area of a patient including a light source having multiple optical emitters with different wavelengths in the visible and NIR spectral range. The light source has an emitter whose wavelength lies in the range of ±50% of its half-width around the intersection of the blue and green filter curves or the green and red filter curves, and the exposure control and the data processing means are arranged to separately detect the affected two of the red and green or the green and blue colour signals in an exposure pattern with activation of the emitter at the intersection point and to evaluate them in the multispectral analysis with mutually different wavelengths shifted by the two affected filter curves as two supporting point wavelengths.
