Note: in many cases, identification of fiber content is not achievable by a single image alone. It may be necessary to look at the accumulation of evidence provided by a series of images , each employing different microscopic techniques. The final identification as acetate was confirmed by a microsolubility test, the fiber dissolved in acetone. Although some identification labels on the slide images say rayon or acetate, the content as acetate was confirmed.
