EXCERPT
Often a microscopist has the task of examining debris. The goal may be to find a particular target item, or it may be an evaluation of the types of materials present. Whatever the task, patience and a meticulous approach are required. Hours and even days can pass as the examination progresses. Interruptions that may occur could cause the analyst to lose the distinction between examined and unexamined debris.
