No. 36 appears to me to be drill bits :idea:

Here's a tip: Why not at least advise what mag each of these pics are taken at. Some could be done by a scanning electron microscope they are so obtuse :shock:

More than likely though they are all done with a USB microscope varying to a max. of say 100 to 150X.

How close am I with that :?:

That's very astute after unca has already acknowledged a correct answer. :lol:

I think giving us the magnification would detract from the fun.

Wow, great idea for a thread

But to me it's all a bit overwhelming with so many to guess at (perhaps I'm just a Bear of Very Little Brain...). :oops:

Maybe for the next round you could post (say) 5 at a time and let people guess 'til they get those right before putting the next lot up :idea:

Anyway, here are a few "wild" guesses from me:

14 - whisk
16 - adjustable spanner - "monkey wrench"
17 - egg box
22 - wooden picture frame
25 - sole of a shoe (trainer)

As a hint, there is no actual "magnification". It is just macro setting on a digital camera, and the lens is just that close to fill in the field of view. One centimetre to as far away as about 3 centimetres.

uncadonego · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2011 13:56:48 pm

Some of you have really good "eyes". Even some of the wrong answers have actually been pretty close.

Allanswood you got three right. Mashed potatoes and cabbage leaf. It's actually cabbage, but close enough. Paper towel is also correct.

18. Rubber Bands.

20. Jelly Tots (Candy)

21. Cotton Balls.

Brummie · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 08:43:36 am

21.Silk cocoons
33.Crepe

uncadonego · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 12:58:36 pm

18 is indeed rubber bands.

Maddog · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 14:26:00 pm

12. A piping bag.

uncadonego · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 14:57:45 pm

No, but looking at the pic, that's a pretty creative guess. Remember, I'm 1cm away with the lens.

SMSSLT · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 15:03:39 pm

No.1 - Looking up from underneath a cupcake?

uncadonego · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 15:06:50 pm

Nope.

Szithis · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 20:21:04 pm

Number 1 is the stalk end of a mushroom.
Number 33 is a bananna skin.

He shoots does he score?

uncadonego · **Posted:** Wed Aug 31, 2011 20:40:59 pm

Number 33 is indeed the skin of a banana.

Number one is not vegetable. It was at one time part of a living animal.
