1. A method of resolving individual stain images from a biological sample stained with at least two individual stains, the method comprising the steps of: (a) using a spectral data collection device for collecting spectral data from each pixel of the biological sample; (b) calculating a calculated spectrum for each of said pixels and for each of the at least two independent stains, said calculated spectrum being equivalent to an actual spectrum that would have been measured using said spectral data collection device had the biological sample been individually stained with one of the at least two individual stains; (c) operating a displaying algorithm on each of said calculated spectra for displaying each of said pixels in a calculated artificial color being equivalent to an actual color that would have been perceived for each of said pixels using a microscope had the biological sample been individually stained with said one of the at least two individual stains.
