Abstract
The study of macro- or micro-algae often requires the
collection of samples in the field. In general, sampling
is carried out without the possibility of micro-
observation. In the best of cases, the location allows
the study of live specimens with scientific equipment
in a laboratory close enough to the sampling site.
However, in remote locations, samples are usually
preserved in the field to delay their exploitation. No
preservation method is perfect and this can affect the
quality of the analysis. Access to digital microscopy in
the field to document or confirm the quality of sam-
ples is becoming easier. I will present and compare
several transportable microscopes, commercial or open
source, that can be used in the field for image acquisi-
tion, and potentially, quantitative analysis.
