Before being given to us, the tools will be meticulously examined using optical microscopy by Dr. Kimball. Each tool is suspected to contain a polish. While examining the tools, Dr. Kimball will record where the most profound polishes are located. These specific locations will be scanned. Regions where polishes are not as profound will be scanned also to act as controls..
