11. A method of constructing a monochrome digital image of an object of interest comprising:
illuminating the object of interest with light of a selected wavelength;
optically obtaining a color plane of image data using a grayscale digital camera or sensor;
creating a pixel matrix of the color plane, each element of the pixel matrix being indicative of a reflection intensity of a corresponding pixel of the color plane;
multiplying, element by element, the pixel matrix by a pre-defined color weighting matrix producing a weighted selected color plane; and
multiplying the weighted selected color plane by a pre-defined selected gain scalar producing a final selected color plane which is the constructed monochrome digital image.
