1. A spectral bio-imaging method for cells classification into classes, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) preparing a sample to be spectrally imaged, said sample including at least a portion of at least one cell;

    (b) viewing said sample through an optical device, said optical device being optically connected to an imaging spectrometer, said optical device and said imaging spectrometer being for obtaining a spectrum of each pixel of said sample;

    (c) classifying each of said pixels into classification groups according to said pixels spectra; and

    (d) analyzing said classification groups and thereby classifying said at least one cell into a cell class.
