*Preferably, look up past '''medical history''' of the patient, mainly past cancers that could possibly appear in the current specimen.

*Look at each microscopy slide by '''eye''', to plan the microscopy screening so as to not miss peripheral fragments.
*Look at each microscopy slide by '''eye''', to plan the microscopy screening so as to not miss peripheral fragments.
*Have a systematic '''direction''' of screening through microscopy slides, such as from top left to bottom right as seen in the microscope. When two-way mirrored, the starting position of the microscope slide is then with the objective pointing at bottom right.
*Have a '''systematic direction''' of screening through microscopy slides, such as from top left to bottom right as seen in the microscope. When the microscope makes what you see two-way mirrored, the starting position is with the objective pointing at the bottom right of the glass slide.

While learning, you will generally focus relatively more on high magnification features with high specificity, but still have a habit of learning how your cases look at '''low magnification''' as well. In time, you will increasingly correlate diseases and conditions with their overall low magnification patterns - patterns that may require 1000 words to describe and thus cannot conveniently be part of written criteria, but will nevertheless allow you to make quicker and more accurate diagnoses.
