Summary
Spectral imaging has become a reliable solution for identification and separation of multiple fluorescence signals in a single sample and can readily distinguish signals of interest from background or autofluorescence. Excitation-scanning hyperspectral imaging improves on this technique by decreasing the necessary image acquisition time while simultaneously increasing the signal-to-noise ratio.
