We present a novel multi-point calibration and correction framework for compensating nonlinear channel bleed-through (crosstalk) in epifluorescence microscopy, enabling improved quantification in liquid biopsy assays. Singly labeled control slides spanning a broad fluorescence dynamic range are used to sample intensity-dependent crosstalk at multiple levels. For an imaging system with M detection channels, each fluorophore’s bleed-through behavior is quantified using N calibration 1×M vectors corresponding to discrete intensity states. The resulting N^M precomputed correction matrices collectively model nonlinear crosstalk interactions.

In contrast to conventional Newton-based or general iterative solvers, which require explicit modeling of continuous intensity-dependent crosstalk and may incur substantial computational cost or convergence uncertainty, the proposed method employs a fixed set of precomputed matrices combined with an efficient positional indexing of numerous crosstalk states obtained via multi-level image segmentation in the correction process. In a 2K × 2K four-channel fluorescence system, a tri-point implementation reduced processing time to 1.8 seconds, compared with 374 seconds for a two-iteration Newton solver. The method achieved correction improvement factors of 1.42 fold relative to a general iterative solver and 1.91 fold relative to a Newton solver. These results demonstrate that the multi-point framework provides both substantial computational acceleration and improved correction accuracy for quantitative fluorescence imaging.
