We are working in a new set up to observe, record and identify phytoplankton using the foldscope. Here some pictures and videos of the prototypes using capillary tubes, which will allow us to run through large water volumes without minimal preparation of samples.
This work is carried out within the MicroToxMap project, a citizen science project for harmful algal bloom monitoring in the South of Chile. Thanks to the amazing help and enthusiasm of the folks at Prakash Lab, we are very excited to see what can we accomplish in the next weeks!
