It is a booger.
These are diatoms on the shell of a crab's claw.
This is earwax.
These three are a piece of woven cotton fabric.
These are of one of my fingernail clippings.
A Kim-wipe and a piece of notebook paper.
Gold wire contacting microelectronic pad.
The leg of a pillbug.
A pin head.
This is some of my blood. I poked myself with the pin from the previous pictures and looked at it. I think the regular cracking circles might be red blood cells.
Cotton from a Q-tip.
Some broken wood from the shaft of the Q-tip.
If there is anything that you would like to see under the SEM let me know and I'll see what I can do.

That's awesome! Maybe a piece of plastic, glass, metal, and rubber.
Wow-- you sure are a boy. Let's get reaaallly close up pictures of earwax, boogers, fingernail clippings and bug bits!
They say that artists' first works in a new medium are usually self-portraits. I hadn't realized that applied to microscropy.
While I'd like to call the earwax, boogers, fingernail clippings, and blood a self-portrait it's really because those are the things I could find in a semi-clean room environment.
I thought it was cool how the cotton of the cloth and from the Q-tip were clearly the same stuff. And the beautiful detail in the wood.
Amazing... I found myself being fascinated by some of those things and disgusted with others! Well, I suppose that is science, eh? Way cool instrument though :) I must say YOU are PHENOMENAL!! We are super proud of you & your work... keep it up!!
