Airborne pollen samples are examined under a light microscope, by means of 250x or 400x magnification. To calculate the whole sample surface, the diameter of the microscopic field has to be given. There are four basic calculation methods. An investigator has to bear in mind possible sources of error, which can be associated with the reading method, sample interpretation and a preparation of a slide.
