A spectral imaging device () for generating an image (A) of a sample () includes (i) an image sensor (); (ii) a tunable light source () that generates an illumination beam () that is directed at the sample (); (iii) an optical assembly () that collects light from the sample () and forms an image of the sample () on the image sensor (); and (iv) a control system () that controls the tunable light source () and the image sensor (). During a time segment, the control system () (i) controls the tunable light source () so that the illumination beam () has a center wavenumber that is modulated through a first target wavenumber with a first modulation rate; and (ii) controls the image sensor () to capture at least one first image at a first frame rate. Further, the first modulation rate is equal to or greater than the first frame rate.
