Easy and accessible way to calibrate a fluorescence microscope and to create a microplastic identification key

We present here a technique for setting up detection limits on any fluorescent microscope in conjunction with the fluorophore Nile Red for microplastic identification. Our method also describes a rigorous morphology-specific identification key for microplastics to reduce subjectivity between researc...
