MULTI-SPECTRAL THREE DIMENSIONAL IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD

A processor receives a first image of a first section of a specimen contacted with at least one first fluorophore having an emission spectrum in the range of approximately 200 nm to 1000 nm, the first image created using a first wavelength of invisible light. The processor receives a second image of a second section of the specimen, the second section adjacent to the first section and the second image created using the first wavelength of invisible light. The processor co-registers the first image and the second image. The processor creates a single-plane image of the first section using a next-image process; wherein the creating of the image includes a debluring process. The processor receives an image of a third section of the specimen created using the first wavelength of invisible light. The processor creates a 3D image of the specimen using at least three images of adjacent specimen sections.
