Petrographic Apps for iPhone?

Dear community,
As more images are taken with your phone, instead of dedicated microscope cameras, it has become important to find apps that apply scale bars to your images. Would anyone know of such an app for iPhones?

Measuring Frequency and Mode Shapes of Bridges Using a Laser Vibrometer – Overcoming Angular Misalignment Challenges

Dear Researcher
I am working with an Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) to measure the natural frequencies and mode shapes of concrete bridges. While I have successfully applied LDV in the lab and on pedestrian cable bridges under controlled conditions, I now face a challenge when testing highway bridges.
🔹 The Challenge: For certain bridge tests, it is not possible to position the vibrometer aligned with the vibration direction. As a result, the measured velocity component is along the laser beam direction, rather than the actual vibration velocity. This misalignment introduces errors in the frequency and mode shape estimations.
Key Questions for Discussion:
-Who has experience using LDV for bridge measurements, particularly in real-world conditions where perfect alignment is not possible?
-What methods have you used to correct the measured velocity and convert it into the true vibration velocity?
-Are there practical techniques, such as angular correction formulas or software adjustments, that you have successfully applied?
📌 Your Insights Matter!
If you have worked with LDV for bridge monitoring or have expertise in overcoming angular deviations, I would greatly appreciate your input. Sharing your experiences, methodologies, or references to relevant studies will be highly valuable.
Looking forward to an engaging discussion!
