摘要
The invention relates to a method, an image processor (26) and a medical observation device (1), such as a microscope or endoscope, for observing an object (4) containing a bolus of at least one fluorophore (12). The object (4) is preferably live tissue comprising several types (16, 18, 20) of tissue. According to the method, a set (34) of component signals (36) is provided. Each component signal (36) represents a fluorescence intensity development of the fluorophore (12) over time in a different type of tissue. A time series (8) of input frames (10) is accessed, one input frame (10) after the other. The input frames (10) represent electronically coded still images of the object (4) at subsequent time. Each input frame (10) contains at least one observation area (22) comprising at least one pixel (23). In the observation area (22) of the current input frame (10) of the time series (8), a fluorescent light intensity (I) is determined over at least one fluorescence emission wavelength (15) of the fluorophore (12). This fluorescent light intensity (I1) is joined with the fluorescence light intensities (In) of the observation area (22) of preceding input frames (10) of the time series (8) to generate a time sequence (40) of fluorescent light intensities (I1, In) of the observation area (22). This time sequence (40) is decomposed on in a preferably linear combination (72) of at least some of the component signals (36) of the set (34). A new set (34) of component signals (36) is provided which includes only those component signals (36) which are present in the combination (72). An output frame (46) is generated, in which the observation area (22) is assigned a color from a color space depending on the combination (72) of component signals (36).
