Abstract
A method and system for spectral demultiplexing of fluorescent species, such as quantum dots, conjugated with a biological tissue. The process of demultiplexing involves a non-liner regression based on curve-fitting of estimated spectra of the quantum dots and confidence intervals describing the parameters of such fitting curve for typical quantum dots.
