In this case, there was a dense central endo-nucleus that seemed somewhat resistant to chopping. When I chopped the nucleus, the central, round endo-nucleus stayed intact while the outer nucleus was split and then emulsified. This was an interesting case because I ended up removing the outer nucleus first and then attacking the dense central endo-nucleus. While a case like this happens rarely, with the high volume of surgery that you are doing (or planning to do in the future), you will certainly encounter this situation.
