In the Dust Diplomat app, you collect and organize samples so that each one has its own unique characteristics. You assign a name or code to a sample, specify its exact location, note how long the dust accumulated, and then gradually add observations to its profile: texture, suspected source, compositional data, and the environmental conditions in which the microlandscape formed. The app helps connect these basic facts with context: where exactly the dust settled, what was happening around it, whether there was a draft, whether the environment changed, whether the sample was physically preserved, and how this might have affected the particle character.

The visual component turns observations into documentation: you take microphotographs and describe what is difficult to quantify: color, reflectivity, density and distribution, and a sense of structure. Over time, the collection begins to function like a map: the same room sounds different in different weeks, a shelf in the bedroom competes with a windowsill, a table surface bears traces of recent events, and familiar particles form recognizable patterns. Dust Diplomat provides an overview of your sample database, helps you compare them, and identify patterns of accumulation, origin, and preservation, so the microscopic world ceases to be an invisible background and becomes an observable process.

Dust Diplomat is designed for observation and personal cataloging and does not replace laboratory analysis methods. However, it is excellent for carefully keeping a diary of your microscopic daily life, where every speck of dust has its own story.
