1. A method for use with a blood sample, the method comprising:
using a microscope, acquiring three images of a microscopic imaging field of the blood sample, each of the images being acquired using respective, different imaging conditions, and the first one of the three images being acquired under violet-light brightfield imaging; and
using at least one computer processor, generating an artificial color microscopic image of the microscopic imaging field, by:
mapping the first one of the three images to a red channel of the artificial color microscopic image;
mapping a second one of the three images to a second color channel of the artificial color microscopic image; and
mapping a third one of the three images to a third color channel of the artificial color microscopic image.
