A method of operating a diagnostic instrument includes illuminating an imaging location of the diagnostic instrument with first light having a first spectrum for a first period and capturing a first image of the imaging location illuminated by the first light. The method further includes illuminating the imaging location of the diagnostic instrument with second light having a second spectrum for a second period, the second spectrum being more destructive to a chemical configured to be received in the diagnostic instrument than the first spectrum; and capturing a second image of the imaging location illuminated by the second light. Other methods and diagnostic instruments are disclosed.
