Another example:

In fluorescence microscopy, you can get up to 6 different colors corresponding to different dyes used to stain your specimen. I believe 6 is the maximum with a standard (i.e. not hyperspectral) microscope.

For example here are some pictures of an irradiated human chromosome, where different regions are painted with different dyes. The order of bands indicates damage to the chromosome.
