The use of India ink as an optical absorber in tissue-simulating phantoms
Abstract
In studies involving the propagation of light in tissues, phantoms consisting of separate scattering and absorbing components are often used. The optical properties of phospholipid emulsions have been studied extensively but the optical properties of particulate absorbers, such as Indian ink, have not been thoroughly investigated. A common and important assumption has been that ink acts as a perfect black-body absorber. The validity of this …
