M-FISH images are difficult to interpret because the emis- sion spectra of fluorochrome marked DNA probes over- lap with each other and with the tissue’s intrinsic auto- fluorescence. Multi-spectral imaging is used to take spa- tially and spectrally resolved images of M-FISH samples and spectral unmixing is applied to resolve the crosstalk in the emission spectra. The unmixing is realized by a com- bination of: Alternating Least Squares (ALS) and VARI- MAX. Spot counting algorithms use the high contrast false color images to automatically determine the HER-2/neu to CEP 17 ratio.
