Abstract
The disclosure features methods that include obtaining multispectral image information for a sample that includes a fluorescent dye, calculating from an image cube of the information a first spectrum and a second spectrum, and calculating a pure spectrum of the fluorescent dye in the sample based on the first and second spectra, where a relative contribution of light emission from the fluorescent dye to the second spectrum is larger than a relative contribution of light emission from the fluorescent dye to the first spectrum, where calculating the first and second spectra includes identifying corresponding first and second sets of pixel intensity values in the image cube, and where identifying the first set of pixel intensity values includes designating one or more layers of the image cube as a first layer set.
