Guess the item game

I just bought a cheap USB microscope and have been enjoying looking at things close up.

I thought I would start a game where I will post close ups of household objects and whoever guesses what they are wins, I don’t know, a virtual pint or a “like” or something :D

It’s only a cheap microscope and magnifies 40x so things aren’t extremely close up. Not going to be looking at any cells here!! For reference here is a pencil nib.

    I’ve never looked very closely at the new notes before and certainly not on a microscopic level. That’s really interesting.

    I’ll give the hairy green thing some thought. ?

    Hopefully this one is a little harder, off to bed now so will post who is right in the morning!

    If anyone else has a microscope they are free to post their own puzzles. Here is the link if you want one (apologies mods if this is not allowed - I’m not affiliated with the business just sharing where I purchased from) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jiusion-Magnification-Endoscope-Microscope-Compatible/dp/B06WD843ZM

    It’s fascinating seeing these things so close up. Thanks @66Mustang!

    I love this @66Mustang! I've got a macro lens for my camera so I'll have to see if I can take some pictures if you don't mind me joining in!

    I’m at a relative’s house at the moment but will try to find some new things to look at when I get back tonight! :)
