Abstract Here, we have presented a field device for sampling periphyton in lentic systems, with a tropical lowland wetland in Colombia as the model system. The periphyton sampler (PS) is composed of a central soft iron pole to which rectangular woody boxes and glass slides are attached to lateral iron axes, which can be distributed at different depths. Our PS can be used to evaluate changes in the richness and density of algal communities at different scales as well as in water quality studies.
