Laptop screen after you dropped it?

Of course, it can't be, otherwise you wouldn't be able to post a picture on here.

Has to be snakeskin....?

Someone's finger under a microscope? It's definitely epithelial, but beyond that I'm guessing.

Dez · « **Reply #78 on:** 29 April, 2012, 11:11:10 pm »

No, no and no.

No microscopes were involved.

Mudflat under new water cover?

It looks like a close-up of the mailbags I'd had stuffed into a recent delivery to make up the space in the box...

Maybe an insect's wing?

Although not too sure about species. The pattern is too regular for most...

A cobbled street with water running over it?

dasmoth · « **Reply #84 on:** 30 April, 2012, 09:55:54 am »

Actually, I think Clarion may have got it.

But -- having finally managed to think about non-biological explanations -- I came here to suggest a crackled glaze on a piece of pottery.

Dez · « **Reply #85 on:** 30 April, 2012, 09:58:06 am »

No-one's got it yet. It is biological.

why1040 · « **Reply #86 on:** 30 April, 2012, 10:00:01 am »

A slug?

Dez · « **Reply #87 on:** 30 April, 2012, 10:08:02 am »

No, not a slug.

Although no microscopes were involved, a lot of magnification was. I was being deliberately misleading

Elephant skin?

dasmoth · « **Reply #89 on:** 30 April, 2012, 10:10:38 am »

Like Lindagordinho, I'm convinced it is -- in some way -- epithelial.

Upper surface of a leaf? With a layer of (natural) wax over the top? Again, seems slightly too regular, but...

LindaG · « **Reply #90 on:** 30 April, 2012, 10:12:47 am »

Oh no. It's your willy isn't it.

Dez · « **Reply #91 on:** 30 April, 2012, 10:13:39 am »

Dasmoth is getting warmer. It is from a plant.

Shame on you, Lindagordinho

That very thin layer of stuff between layers of onion?

(We looked at that at school, a couple of centuries ago...)

David Martin · « **Reply #93 on:** 30 April, 2012, 11:11:52 am »

Just dropped into this thread. Looks very much like onion skin with a blue food dye. Would have though that would have required microscopy to see though.

Yes, you've got it!

No food dye, David. I was pointing the camera at the sky to get a decent amount of light.

I had two 2x teleconverters, macro bellows and my 50mm lens on the camera - no microscopes involved!

Arch · « **Reply #95 on:** 30 April, 2012, 12:46:12 pm »

Yay!

I better have a hunt for something to photograph....

Darnit, I've been at MFWHTBAB's all weekend, he's got all manner of wierd stuff in the workshop.

I thought you were supposed to be the expert...

Dez · « **Reply #97 on:** 30 April, 2012, 01:08:44 pm »

Here's the setup I used:

The onion skin was sellotaped to a piece of card with a hole cut in it, which was blu-tacked to the front of the macro rails.

Oh, oh, I know this one too.

It's a camera!
