The present invention relates to the multispectral imaging of samples, in particular of biological tissues. The invention further relates to a method for acquisition of fluorescence images and reflection images of an object (400) comprising the steps of alternatingly illuminating the object (400) with at least a first light and a second light, wherein the first light and the second light are spectrally shaped such that at least one light has several spectral regions of high light intensity separated by spectral region(s) of low light intensity, wherein the spectral regions of the first light and the second light with high intensity at least partially do not overlap and wherein at least one of the two lights has at least one region of low light intensity that is of longer wavelength to the neighboring region of high light intensity, and recording at least a first image of the object (400) and a second image of the object (400) while illuminating the object (400) with at least one of the lights wherein the light to be recorded as the first image is modified such, that at least one spectral region of high intensity of the second light is attenuated, and wherein the light to be recorded as the second image is modified such, that at least one spectral region of high intensity of the first light is attenuated.
