PolyAn’s Spectrum Calibration Microbeads can be applied to evaluate the performance of confocal fluorescence microscopes and other imaging-based systems. The beads can be spotted into arrays and used to monitor day-to-day performance, and comparison of different fluorescence-based instruments. A corresponding application note can be downloaded here.

The Spectrum Calibration Beads contain a mixture of fluorophores that can be excited at any wavelength from 365–650 nm, and allow a performance validation within most common detection channels ranging from 400–750 nm. They are available in sizes from 100 nm diameter to 10 µm diameter with different intensity populations.
