Sorry, no, but that's a very specific question.
Can you use something to make a cover slip or a central area of a slide slightly tacky, and then just press it against the grains (assuming you can see them)? Kind of how you would pick up cat hair with a piece of tape or a fur roller? You could use a piece of Scotch tape, but then you have to get them off the tape, plus it would stick to the bag unless you maybe used a post-it note. I assume just using forceps isn't practical?

There are probably only 10 particles, each about the size of popcorn salt grains. I want to make sure I get them all out of a bag and affixed to a microscope slide. One of my sons suggested rinsing the bag out with water, I suggested alcohol and letting it evaporate. I guess in a petri dish. But then we still have to find the grains and transfer and affix them to a slide. Anyone have any experience with type of thing?
