SOLID PHANTOMS

[msmamma]

I am trying to come up with a transparent medium in which to incorporate scatters and dye and make a solid phantom. I cannot find an epoxy to use that is optically clear nor a standard that can be removed from a mold. Any suggestions?

Don't people normal use acryllic for this?

Yes they do.

Acryic casting resins also known as methyl methacrylate casting resins.
