About Slidequill: Microscope Notes

Slidequill is a private, offline microscopy notebook and optics calculator for students, educators, field naturalists, and home microscopy benches.

Record observations with an optional image selected through Apple's system Photos picker. Adjust objective, eyepiece, field number, and image width; review clearly labeled magnification, field-size, and scale-bar estimates; keep a local chronology; export a local project brief; and browse bundled workflow guidance.

No account, ads, analytics, tracking, subscription, or network connection is required for core use. Field-number results are estimates and do not account for camera-adapter or crop effects.

Slidequill is a documentation and optics calculator. It does not identify organisms or pathology, validate stains or preparations, provide clinical conclusions, control a microscope, or replace laboratory protocols, qualified instruction, and biosafety requirements.
