To set up our camera in front of the fluorimeter we first had to place the lighted platform and glass slide at the back of the box with a tray under the platform to increase the height. Next, we took the phone and placed it into the phone cradle. Then we took the phone cradle and placed it in front of the glass slide, varying the distance until the drop was in focus.
Distance between the smart phone cradle and drop =
