Proper documentation on a Foldscope slide is crucial for ensuring its reproducibility, and meaningful analysis. Without clear labeling, valuable observations may be lost, misinterpreted, or difficult to compare. A well-documented slide can allow researchers to track sample origins, observe trends, and share findings with others bringing more structure to the process.
Here are the list of things that you should consider adding on your slide.
Date & Time – When the sample was collected or observed.
Location – The specific place where the sample was collected (e.g., city, village, forest, beach, lab, etc.).
Sample Name / Type – The biological or material name of the sample (e.g., "Glass Krill," "Blood Clot," "Fungi Spores").
Scientific Name (if known) – The proper scientific classification of the sample.
Sample Source / Habitat – Whether it was collected from soil, water, blood, plant, marine life, etc.
Observation Notes – Any specific findings about the sample (e.g., Very large melanocyte cells).
Drawing / Diagram – A small sketch of the observed sample to visualize its structure. This is where you can show your beautiful artworks.
Sample ID / Code – Unique identifier for tracking multiple slides if you are planning to have a deck of slides.
Here are a couple of slides I am sharing with you that gave me an idea to write this post. Do share your slides.

Looking forward to interesting slide designs or maybe fancy slide decks sometime.
