Optical phantoms mimic the optical properties of human and animal tissues

July 15, 2010
BioMimic optical phantoms from INO reproduce the characteristics of light propagation (400-900 nm) in living tissue.

BioMimic optical phantoms from INO (Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada) reproduce the characteristics of light propagation (400–900 nm) in living tissue. Based on optical-quality polymers, the optical phantoms can simulate a wide variety of tissue types, and include phantom varieties with VIS-NIR absorbing dyes and TiO2 scatterers. Phantom preparation with a number of layers of differing properties is possible; for fluorescence applications, it is possible to embed fluorescent inclusions with different properties at precise positions in the phantom volume.
