About this app

Streamline your freshwater biological research with DiatomScope, the essential field and laboratory companion for microscopists, ecologists, and biologists. Identify, analyze, and archive diatom assemblages directly from your mobile device using comprehensive morphological keys and image-based evaluation tools designed to work entirely offline.

Key Features:
Morphological Identification Key: Filter through a comprehensive reference database using distinct structural features, including symmetry (bilateral, radial, asymmetric), striation patterns, raphe structures, and valve outlines to pinpoint exact candidates.

Photo Analysis Assistant: Upload a microscope photograph to analyze genus and species characteristics. The assistant automatically evaluates the image and returns a ranked shortlist of matching species candidates complete with confidence percentages.

Complete Ecological Archiving: Build robust specimen cards by pairing your micrographs with vital environmental parameters, including water body GPS locations, pH levels, conductivity measurements, collection dates, and microscope magnification settings.

Bundled Offline Species Library: Browse all taxa seamlessly without requiring a network connection. Save your most frequently observed species (such as Cymbella tumida or Gomphonema parvulum) to a dedicated favorites panel for rapid access.

Local-First Privacy & Customization: Maintain absolute control over your research data with "Local-First" privacy defaults that keep records strictly on your device, customize database sorting rules, and toggle flexible review reminders.
