Sketch of the four-step method for sample transfer from sieve to microscope. Note that the vacuum flask of the filtration setup and the microscope are only rudimentarily shown. In the validation experiment presented here, the sieves had a diameter of 75 mm and mesh sizes of 1000 µm, 500 µm and 300 µm (decreasing from the top to the bottom).
