Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Looks like bits of silica/silicate to me. I've no expertise in it so I'm not sure; in any microscope work I've done before, the stuff in your photo is the crap that gets in the way of what I'm actually trying to look at, so I've spent most of my time ignoring it.

Hi,

Thanks for that but these grains occur very frequently (80+) in the slide and all of them look exactly the same, hence my thinking that they are something else. What that something else is though, I've no idea!
