It means that he puts every sample he finds under the microscope. Here, "each," and, "every," are synonyms.

It does not necessarily mean he finds them one at a time. Here, the word "each" is a synonym for "every." Regardless of when or how he finds the items, he will but EVERY one of them under the scope.
Hope that helps.

More information would be required to determine that. For instance, he might find a group of artifacts at the same time, or he might find them individually, or in pairs, etc. The "each" in this particular sentence does not refer to the act of finding artifacts. It refers to the act of putting artifacts under a scope. We can infer he puts EACH artifact, one at a time, individually, under the scope. We can't infer, however, whether he found them individually or otherwise.

If "each" refers to an individual artifact in the group doesn't that mean that he finds the artifacts one by one, or am i misunderstanding?08/27/22
