Methods and systems for imaging a biological sample are disclosed, and include: (a) staining the sample with a first stain that includes eosin and at least one additional stain; (b) directing excitation light to the sample to cause each of the stains to emit fluorescence; and (c) recording images of the fluorescence emitted from the stains in the sample, where the amount of eosin in the sample is sufficiently dilute to cause the sample to have an average optical density of less than 0.10 at green wavelengths.
