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 (I.sub.1) is joined with the fluorescence light intensities (I.sub.n) 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 (I.sub.1, I.sub.n) 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).
