Abstract
Documenting an object seen in a light microscope is a challenge, especially in limited setting area, for an example when doing field trip for environmental sampling. Taking photographs directly using smartphone, or so called microscopic photography, is not easy. Here we proposed a simple, fast and reliable method of taking photograph with small sized cello tape assisted smartphone on light microscope. We named this procedure “the Urip Susiantoro approach”, methods can be practiced in limited resources setting.
Keywords:
Sample, environmental sampling, documentation, macro-mode, visualization, adaptor.
