    Abstract: A method of spectral-morphometric analysis of biological samples, the biological samples including substantially constant components and suspected variable components, the method is effected by following the steps of (a) using a spectral data collection device for collecting spectral data of picture elements of the biological samples; (b) defining a spectral vector associated with picture elements representing a constant component of at least one of the biological samples; (c) using the spectral vector for defining a correcting function being selected such that when operated on spectral vectors associated with picture elements representing other constant components, spectral vectors of the other constant components are modified to substantially resemble the spectral vector; (d) operating the correcting function on spectral vectors associated with at least the variable components for obtaining corrected spectral vectors thereof; and (e) classifying the corrected spectral vectors into classification groups.

    Abstract: A device and method for spectral imaging of an object. A plurality of sets of narrow-band light sources such as LEDs are provided. Each set emits illumination radiation in a different narrow spectral band. Each set is activated sequentially to illuminate the object. Light reflected from the object or transmitted by the object is focused on a detector array to image the object. Narrower illumination bands are provided by dispersing the emitted light using a dispersive optical element such as a diffraction grating. Alternatively; selected sets or subsets are activated simultaneously with duty cycles that emulate a preselected spectral distribution. For imaging ocular fundus tissue, the illumination light is shaped into an annular beam by an appropriately shaped waveguide.
