Field mycologists measuring microscope specimens
Worth noticing
The page describes 5th–95th percentile ranges with extremes in brackets, plus a grid intended to help avoid selecting only the neatest spores.

Field notes

Calibration is tied to the microscope objective: users click two divisions on a stage-micrometer image, and the page says the tool checks for lens distortion. Measurements can cover more than spores, including basidia, cystidia, and hyphae; collection records also have fields such as habitat and voucher number. The page says the browser version stores photos and samples on-device and works offline after opening.
