For most purposes that do not need 100% precision (most us, most of the 
time), squares are marked off on the boards and only half or fewer of 
the squares are counted, depending on the mite density and the accuracy 
required.  The squares are selected to have a probability of being 
representative.

Someone wrote an illustrated article on this having established ht 
proper size of squares and the proper ones to count.  Was it Diana? 
Can't recall. Does someone have a link?
