1. A method of determining whether spectral data obtained from a region of a tissue sample are affected by an artifact, said method comprising the steps of:

  • obtaining a first set of spectral data corresponding to a region of a tissue sample using light incident to said region at a first angle;

    obtaining a second set of spectral data corresponding to said region using light incident to said region at a second angle; and

    determining whether said first set of data is affected by an artifact based at least in part on a subset of said first set of data and a subset of said second set of data.
