The Tip of My Bic
Earlier this week I installed a new low power (4x) Nikon bright field objective on my microscope, in hopes of being able to better macro photograph larger subjects of interest. This morning I started playing with the new lens. See if you can guess the identity of the common everyday object photographed in the image above.
Answer revealed: The object is the "Tip of my Bic" - The ball point end of my pen! Congrats to Tony Smith (Hotpix UK) for correctly identified the item. It is quite interesting to see how the ink is distributed on the ball. Tony has a great macro image of a ballpoint pen on his Flickr site: www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/4343989477/
