METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PERFORMING AN ANALYTICAL MEASUREMENT

A method for evaluating the suitability of a mobile device (112) for performing an analytical measurement is disclosed. The mobile device (112) has at least one camera (122). The method comprises: a) providing the at least one mobile device (112) having the at least one camera (122); b) providing at least one reference object (114) having at least one predefined spatial extension (116) in at least one spatial dimension (126); c) taking at least one image (124) of at least part of the reference object (114) by using the camera (122); and d) deriving at least one item of spatial resolution information by using the image, wherein the at least one item of spatial resolution information comprises one or more numerical values, which quantify the capability of the camera of resolving two or more objects in the image.
