Calibration Targets


Next Generation Camera Calibration Target
This target is specially designed for the archiving community, but has shown to be a useful camera calibration for general applications as well. It is shipped with a sturdy case and container for cleaning fluid (shipping restrictions prevent us from providing the isopropanol.)
For a more complete description of the new product (NGT2), visit NextGenTarget.com. As of August 2019, Avian Rochester has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with our trusted partner DT Cultural Heritage, makers of preservation-grade digitization solutions. If your field is in Cultural Heritage, including Museums, Libraries, Archives, Universities, and service bureaus that serve any of those entities, please visit their DT NGT2 page for all the details and purchase options.
If you work in a different market space, or are confused about where to go for more information, please contact us directly and we will get you pointed in the right direction.
Regardless of where you source the NGT2 from, we can provide NIST traceable calibration data for your specific target. We can help you by recommending the appropriate measurement geometries depending on your particular imaging configuration. Bidirectional (45:0) and diffuse measurements (de:8, di:8) are available. Please contact us for details.  
Microscope Color Calibration Target
This target is designed for general microscopic color imaging applications. The format is a standard 3″x1″ glass slide, with color positive film enclosed under a cover slip. These are provided calibrated (total transmittance) with certificate or uncalibrated. Complete details are here. Please read these important notes on calibration.
