For imaging systems where ultra-fine resolution is not essential, our Low Resolution Fluorescence test targets provide a budget-friendly yet high-quality alternative. Featuring USAF resolution patterns from Group -2 to 5 or 0 to 5, and the same fluorescent backing materials available in our high-end models, these test targets are perfect for routine calibration, validation, and performance testing in fluorescence imaging applications.
Key features & benefits
-
USAF Resolution Groups -2 to 5 / 0 to 5: sufficient for most standard imaging system evaluations.
-
Cost-effective design: optimized for labs with budget constraints or moderate resolution needs.
-
Fluorescent background material: choose from a wide range of dye spectra that emulate common fluorophores (see below for detailed list).
-
Positive or negative contrast options: flexibility to suit different system requirements.
-
Compact, durable phantom: Robust construction suitable for repeated use.
Why Choose Low Resolution Fluorescence test targets
Not every system needs to push the limits of high-end resolution. If your application lies within the performance range of USAF Groups -2 to 5 or 0 to 5, these low resolution test targets offer the same high-quality materials and fluorescence accuracy as our premium models — at a fraction of the cost. They’re ideal for everyday calibration, teaching environments, or systems with lower optical resolving power.
