This is a single strand of hair from a person with dyed hair. Although it struggled to show up in the photo, to the eye there was a slight blue tint to the hair, which comes from the hair dye.
This sample was collected at 5:04 PM on 5/31/19 in Blacker dining hallway from a willing participant.
This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip. The hair was then placed onto the slide, and the cover was taped down to prevent the sample from moving around. The foldoscope was then rested onto a phone that was displaying a white background and a second phone was used to record the image. The phone was used over ambient light so that a more precise light control could be used. The magnification of the foldoscope was changed until the picture was clearly in focus. A photo was then taken of the specimen.
