This article presents a liquid phantom technology that simulates the fluorescent properties of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). A technology was developed for the isolation of PPIX from dark egg shells with a final concentration close to the real values in human tissues. A comparative analysis of the transmittance coefficient of the manufactured phantom as well as the fluorescence spectra measured through the combined use of a CCD spectrometer and a hyperspectral camera is presented as results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
