Abstract
A method including: providing a sample with M components to be labeled, where M>2; labeling the components with N stains, where N<M so that at least two components are labeled with a common stain; obtaining a set of spectral images of the sample; classifying different parts of the sample into respective classes that distinguish the commonly stained components based on the set of spectral images; and determining relative amounts of multiple ones of the M components in different regions of the sample. Related apparatus are also disclosed.
