Seen on a microscopic support, this sharp-edged grain of rock is an extraterrestrial object – a tiny sample from the Itokawa asteroid, retrieved by Japan’s Hayabusa mission and now being tested by ESA researchers.
Japan’s Hayabusa spacecraft was the world’s first mission to retrieve samples from the surface of an asteroid and return them to Earth. Beset by many problems, after a seven-year, six-billion-km odyssey Hayabusa returned around 1 500 precious asteroid grains to Earth.
Extremely precious, these Hayabusa grains have become the focus of scientific study around the world – and three of them are currently here, at ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in the Netherlands.
Researcher Fabrice Cipriani is leading research into their static charging properties, to understand the consequences for the surface environments of asteroids.
Watch this video interview with Fabrice produced for ESA’s Asteroid Day webcast.

Microscopic crystals derived from the urine of a Siberian tiger. In my Tiny Worlds Collection, these colorless crystals get their color through polarization. No humans or animals were hurt in the production of this image.
This unbelievably small crab spiderling was felt rather than spotted, I felt it moving among my arm hair on my right arm, and finally located this liitle greenish Thomisid (about 1mm) . A very difficult one to photograph with the camera and MP-E65 bbraced against my chest. My breathing and it's constant movement made for very few in focus, this was the last atttempt as it appeared unhappy! The eyes suggest it may be a Xyxticus species, but this one is way too young to know yet.
I was lucky to spot this interesting but rarely seen microscopic male moth, Adela cuprella, sitting on a dandelion clock. It was a nice match between white antennae of the moth and white clock of a dandelion, with shiny rainbow colours of the forewings. Brown's Folly, Avon Wildlife Trust, Bathford, near Bath, Somerset, England
“This species has a wide distribution across much of mainland Britain, but is rather local and not easy to locate, as the adults tend to spend a lot of their time around the tops of sallow trees.
The males have very long whitish antennae and hairy black head; the females have much shorter, black antennae and are orange or yellowish on the head. Both sexes have metallic bronzy forewings with a slight purplish sheen
The eggs are laid in the catkins of sallow (Salix), but on hatching the larvae drop to the ground and feed amongst the leaf litter in a portable case constructed from fragments of vegetation.” Source: www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/adela-cuprella

If you want to look at a medical paper with pictures, then this is your lucky day! Any doctors want to comment on this study?
“All of the abnormal blood samples of injected persons, the 948 cases, showed tubular/fibrous formations and frequently also crystalline and lamellar formations with extremely complex but consistently similar morphologies across all of the patients with abnormal blood samples. Our results are so similar to those of Lee et al. (2022) that it could be claimed that, except for our innovative application of dark-field microscopy to mark the foreign metal-like objects in the blood of mRNA injections from Pfizer or Moderna, we have replicated the blood work of the Korean doctors with a much larger sample. Our findings, however, are bolstered by their parallel analysis of the fluids in vials of the mRNA concoctions alongside centrifuged plasma samples from the cases they studied intensively. What seems plain enough is that metallic particles resembling graphene oxide and possibly other metallic compounds, like those discovered by Gatti and Montanari (Montanari & Gatti, 2016; Gatti & Montanari, 2012, 2017, 2018), have been included in the cocktail of whatever the manufacturers have seen fit to put in the so-called mRNA “vaccines”. In our experience as clinicians, these mRNA injections are very unlike traditional “vaccines” and their manufacturers need, in our opinions, to come clean about what is in the injections and why it is there.”

Gates Foundation: $200 million to expand global Digital Public Infrastructure:
“This funding will help expand infrastructure that low- and middle-income countries can use to become more resilient to crises such as food shortages, public health threats, and climate change, as well as to aid in pandemic and economic recovery. This infrastructure encompasses tools such as interoperable payment systems, digital ID, data-sharing systems, and civil registry databases.”

Bill Gates: “The world today has 6.8 billion people—that’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”

Getting back into building again, a tree loosely based on some sketches of squid and octopus tentacles.
This very tiny bee is sitting on a Button Bush Ball. The ball (blossom) itself is slightly smaller than a ping pong ball.
This photo is from more than 8 years ago. Hey, it's winter here now so I look for warmer photos not previously seen.
In the top comment box you can see a full frame (b/w) image, showing the size of the bush and the bee.

This is actually trespassing just a bit into Laurie's territory; some will know what that means.
We have some blooming plants in our garden. They look very much like the red Bee Balm flowers we've had each year...except for the color. And the blossoms are somewhat smaller. Each one is about the size of a US half-dollar...fifty cent piece.
You can sort of get a feel for the very tiny size of this nymph. I won't pretend to know millimeters...but this one, without the long antennae, is about the size of a well-sharpened pencil lead. Put another way, about half the length of an HDMI or USB jack. Perhaps the size of a Tea rose thorn.

I used my sons microscope and attached my canon 750d to get thiS 5 second macro shot of a spine at the base of a courgette from my garden.
I have a favourite macro area at Wilford Claypit, it's a small patch of exposed ground surrounded by vegetation, there is a bit of moss there as well, I find quite a variety of Collembola in this small area.
Turns out that this is not Stenacidia violacea, could possibly be Sminthurides schoetti, which would be cool as would be a new species for the list, but then could mean I have yet to find Stenacidia violacea. I have uploaded a set of 11 additional images and await an opinion from Frans. It certainly is a fun game trying to ID these guys from photo's, especially when there are so few images out there, proper ID relies on microscopic examination of setae, foot structure, furcula structure, antennae structure etc and then checking against keys.
VIEW ON BLACK
A nearly-microscopic crab spideer sits in position on some fleabane. The flower is under 2cm across and so the spider is really tiny. No idea what the other bug is, but it's been stuck like that for a while so I think it's a victim.

This entire little creation of nature...the whole thng that you see in this photo...is just over 1/2 inch long. You could hide it behind a penny.
Twisting Light #8 Continuing the experiments on the refraction patterns of light made with formed and shaped plastic materials. With this one I seem to have created two microscopic creatures. The top one looks to me like a 'daphnia' or 'water flea' while the bottom one appears to have structure reminiscent of the segmented body of a 'louse' or similar parasite. Ooh.. I've gone all itchy. Pleasant dreams. ;-))
These images are analog formed directly on to 35mm negative film by the refraction pattern of light passing through a formed plastic shape. The resulting print has been scanned for flickr. Minor adjustments have been made with Picasa2.
When seen large, small rainbow patterns are evident and also difraction patterns and rings.
I continue here with my microscopic dissection of the Alyssum flowering plant. I believe that the small yellow structure shown here is the Stigma end of the Pistal. My image was created using a Nikon light microscope. Several images focused at different planes were photostacked together using Helicon Focus, with additional post processing work in Lightroom and Photoshop. The polar width of the small granules (pollen?) in this image is approximately 20 microns. You can also see many of the individual yellowisn retangular shaped cells making up the Pistal.
Further information
"The pistil is the name given to the entire female reproductive system contained in a flower. It is composed of the stigma, style and ovary, which houses the ovules that eventually become seeds. The pistil contains all the structures required to trap and grow compatible pollen tubes until they are capable of successfully fertilizing ovules.
The stigma is the sticky, swollen structure at the top of the pistil. Its job is to capture and hold onto pollen grains. As they cling to the stigma, these dry reproductive structures are rehydrated; the stigma then sends hormonal signals to the pollen grains that tell them to elongate into the pistil.
The style is a long, hollow tube that holds the stigma far enough away from the ovary to be able to catch pollen grains as they pass by or positions the stigma in such a way so pollinators will rub against it. The length of the style is different depending on the plant, helping the pistil weed out any incompatible pollen tubes when they fail to grow long enough to properly fertilize the ovules."
