For an example of this effect in physics, look at the Millikan experiment

Oh, the Millikan experiment. I had to do it in uni lab as a 4 hour long experiment. It's impossible to gather enough data in this short time and your eyes figuratively falls out by staring into the microscope measuring the drops' velocity. I can assure that this is the worst experiment one can do as a student.
