    Abstract: This invention is a device, and method for spectral imaging of an object. A plurality of sets of narrow-band light sources (12) 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 (16). Light reflected from the object or transmitted by the object is focused (26) on a detector array (20) 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 wave-guide.

    Abstract: A fluorescent in situ hybridization method including the steps of (a) obtaining a chromosome spread of a species; (b) preparing a hybridization composite containing a plurality of chromosomal paints each of the plurality of chromosomal paints being labeled with a different fluorophore-or-combination-of-fluorophores, such that an averaged specific activity of highly repetitive sequences in the hybridization composite substantially equals an averaged specific activity of unique sequences in the hybridization composite; (c) denaturing the hybridization composite and subjecting the hybridization composite to conditions for allowing at least a part of the highly repetitive sequences in the hybridization composite to reanneal while at least a part of the unique sequences in the hybridization composite remaining single stranded; (d) contacting under hybridization conditions the hybridization composite with the chromosome spread; (e) washing away excess of the hybridization composite; and (f) analyzing and presenting images of the now hybridized chromosome spread.
