Calibration
For this lab, the phone that was used was placed in a horizontal fashion. The camera was on the right side facing the drop of fluid. In an attempt to keep the phone perpendicular to the table, tape was applied to the phone and then attached to the cradle. Earphones were attached to the phone for the purpose of knowing the timing of the pictures being taken.
Distance between the smart phone cradle and drop = 7.5 cm

Placing Samples onto the Fluorimeter
[ Set the micropipette to 80 microliters]
[Collect the CYBER green in the micropipette ]
[The light from the Fluorimeter should be shining on the first two rows of dots]
[Place the CYBER green in between the two dots so that the light beam goes straight through the center of the bubble of fluid]
"[Eject tip from micropipette and put a new one on]
"[While still on the 80 microliter setting, collect the pcr product that has been mixed with the buffer solution]
"[Place the pcr solution inside of the CYBER green that is already on the slide]
"[Close the box and take pictures]
