not sure on the specimen size but to get the photo uploaded , send it to your email address from your iphone , it gives you 3 sizes to send it as, pick the smallest and then just open your email on a laptop/computer and save the photo from your email to the laptop , then just upload as normal ,,, :D :D :D , hope this works for you
