1. A method for optimal capture of a multi-channel image in a Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) spectrometer system, the method comprising:
(a) finding one or more groupings of channels using a first image;
(b) determining a total capture time for each of the one or more groupings of channels;
(c) determining a exposure sub-optimality for each channel of the one or more groupings of channels;
(d) estimating an expected error in peak wavelength for each channel of the one or more groupings of channels using the total capture time and the exposure sub-optimality;
(e) finding an optimal grouping of the one or more groupings of channels by identifying a grouping with the lowest estimate of expected error in peak wavelength; and
(f) capturing a subsequent image using the optimal grouping.
