QUEL Imaging Optical Phantom Downloads & Resources

Reference Target Product Family:
Information on the normal, day-to-day use and care of the Concentration, Depth, Resolution and Radiometric Emitter Targets.

FluoFlow^TM: Dynamic fluorescence phantoms
Information on the storage and cleaning procedures to use this phantom with fluorophores.

OptiBlox®: Tissue-mimicking optical phantoms
Information on the storage and cleaning procedures for OptiBlox®: Q-T phantoms.

Concentration Targets:
How to characterize the fluorescence sensitivity of an imaging systems using this shelf-stable enhancement of a common serial dilution.

Depth Targets:
How to characterize the dependence of fluorescence signal on the depth of tissue-mimicking materials. This is a leveling-up that thin slice of bacon or bologna you were using…

Resolution Targets:
How to characterize the spatial fluorescence resolution of an imaging system. What is the smallest feature your system can resolve in fluorescence mode?

Radiometric-Emitter Targets:
How to mimic fluorescence by emitting light of a known wavelength and adjustable radiance. This is a stable reference to compare fluorescence signals and track system performance or photobleaching.

Application Note: Monitoring system imaging performance and
photobleaching using the radiometric emitter target

Uniformity and Distortion Targets:
How to characterize imaging system accuracy related to fluorescence illumination and capture efficiency, as well as spatial distortion. Let’s hope your system doesn’t suprise you with a not-so-happy accident.

Design Change Notice O38 – Q800:
The name and design of our OTL-38-equivalent product line of standard and mini fluorescence reference targets have been updated to the new “Q800” product line. The overall design remains largely unchanged with new changes implemented to 1) maximize the usability of the targets 2) Improve targeted optical properties and 3) minimize manufacturing variability.
