Measuring Cleanliness - Low Tech Detection Methods

Question:
What low tech and easy to perform detection methods can be used to measure cleanliness at 0.01 grams per square centimeter?

Answer:
Visual inspection is best used to detect residues of contrasting color or texture. Good lighting can enhance visual inspection. Magnification and fiber optic lighting, which throws light across a surface, improve detection.

Low-power microscope inspection is a quick and efficient way to verify cleanliness of residual oils and greases, flux residues, particles and surfaces.

Wiping with a white wipe provides a contrasting surface with which to detect dark residues (the white glove test).
