Abstract:
Disclosed are calibration apparatuses for fluorescent microscopy instruments and methods of making and using them. Specifically, disclosed are calibration apparatuses with a fluorescent layer, such as photoresist, deposited on a substrate, with an optional layer of a reflective material, such as chrome. Illumination of the fluorescent and/or reflective layers, and detection and analysis of the resulting emissions allows evaluation of the instrument with respect to both reflective and fluorescent channels. Selection of appropriate fluorescent materials for the one or more fluorescent layers allows the evaluation of an instrument with respect to different fluorophores, as would be used with an instrument capable of two color detection. Inclusion of a reflective layer further allows the evaluation and calibration of all optical channels of an instrument, including the reflective channel and two or more fluorescent channels, with a single calibration apparatus for imaging criteria such as uniformity, contrast and emission signal strength.

Claim (Index 24):
The method of  claim 23 , wherein the one or more patterns in the reflective layer and the fluorescent layer are identical, and wherein the one or more patterns are created simultaneously.
