I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to do this. The microscope *I* used isn't very good and only went to 40x. I had to take pictures by holding my digital camera to the eye piece. At the university we have a metallurgy microscope with a hard mounted camera. I might try to look with that one too.
This is the sample image the decapping company sent me:

I was surprized how bad this next picture was. I was told by MEFAS that the image below was taken with a "stereo microscope". He said to get the image he got, use an "optical microscope". There is a metallurgy microscope at UAA that I will use to finish the project.

That's what I was able to get with the work microscope and a digital camera held up to the eye piece.
Each block of the PAL should resemble this:
