A relatively simple examination of suspect water-soluble paper residue can be performed by using chemical testing and microscopic and instrumental procedures, and meaningful results can be obtained. The consistency between test results of individual constituents and actual residues indicates the reliability of the technique and makes positive conclusions possible.
