Description

Standardized protocol to transfer dust from plant surfaces to microscope slides and count particles in defined areas under magnification. Used to calibrate experimental dust treatments against natural dust levels.

Typical Equipment

  • microscope slides
  • clean wax paper
  • microscope with 50x magnification
  • ocular micrometer

Output Measurements

  • dust particle density
  • dust load per transect
