Figure 1. Schematic illustration of the used evaluation methods; macroscopic (left panel) and microscopic (right panel), respectively. With the macroscopic approach, the entire deposit was scanned in one view for measurement of particle count and size. With the microscopic approach, three randomly selected views were scanned and measured. The total particle output was extrapolated from the known area of the microscopic view in relation to the entire area of the deposit.
