NO, it does not, sorry to disagree. Sondek's reply is way more informative and to the point.
When you buy new sleeves you would normally expect them to be clean and not need inspection with a microscope before using. MAYBE I SHOULD WASH EVERYTHING BEFORE USE LIKE ALL DUTIFUL WINGNUTS DO
I took a terrible hit including vinyl when storm Ida hit town and also had to throw out many records, many years of collecting. I'm done with this thread.
Thanks a bunch anyway samstone

we all need some
Is there any way to take a picture, even using a microscope?
I have occasionally had hard white specks lodge themselves tightly in the groove, as they must have been the same width as the groove. If my finger nail doesn't work, I use a wooden toothpick to remove the specks.
Often, small organic material sticks to the record surface. However, I cannot use an organic solvent to remove them, as the solvent also dissolves the vinyl PVC. Once after a garage sale , I discovered after getting home that white paint splatter was on the record surface. There is nothing that can be done for the reason described above.
It sounds like you already tried a water based cleaning solution, and that didn't work. Other than diluted alcohol, I cannot think of any other solvent to use that wouldn't hurt the record.
it took a couple days of soaking it, first with Last cleaner, then with Last preservative - it was all I had. It still wouldn't budge so I used a brush from an old Watts 'Preener' and a bit of gentle scrubbing - just a bit. It finally came off and I did my best to clean the record with a short hair carbon fiber Decca Brush to finish it off. It was now gone and did not have any damage to the groove playing normally. It was a challenge for sure
If it had been between songs or a quiet passage it might be a different story
