Can ya tell wut it iz yut?

Beest · 03-28-2008, 11:55 AM

Many years ago on a board far, far, away one the posters was a keen photographer and started doing a quiz of everyday objects seen in close up, or from odd angles like BigV has done here.
As he ran out of steam I was inspired to use my powers only for good and do much the same thing with an electron microscope.

Since BigV's thread I have tried to dig out the files to post up here for your amusement, but so far have drawn a blank, which is odd because we never delete anything, but they have cryptic names to reduce cheating.

I just noticed that the original image is sitting here on this computer, so here it is. At this moment in time I don't have the succeedeing pictures getting lower in magniification, showing more of the object so I might give clues with sufficient inducement.:p

A penny. How come you have so many EM pics?

glatt · 03-28-2008, 12:13 PM

An aspirin tablet.

And what was that other thing you posted a week or two before? It was all fuzzy in the middle.

Something made of metal.

Elspode · 03-28-2008, 10:18 PM

A breadbox (well, *my* breadbox is made of metal, anyway).

It's you or DanaC I don't think he was big in OZ.

So, Merc is in the county, Labrat is in the Ball Park, but it's not a penny.

Elspode, our Breadbox is also metal, but it's got nothing to do with this quiz.

I'm with LabRat on the coin guess.

TheMercenary · 03-30-2008, 02:30 PM

A milled piece of jewlery.

Beest · 03-30-2008, 11:46 PM

It's a coin, but can you tell which one, it's going to be a lot easier for US dwellars

What is the picture of specifically

xoxoxoBruce · 03-31-2008, 12:40 AM

The top of Washington's head on a quarter.

LabRat · 03-31-2008, 10:50 AM

Sweet, Beest. I'd love to chat more about microscopy sometime. My specialty is confocal, with just a dash of two-photon for good measure.

BTW, the exact origin of that pic is the top of the eagles head, and bottom of the N in "UNUM" on the back of an old school US quarter. The divot is the eagles eye.

More more!!!
