Microscope puzzle
On Tuesday I went to Penny to buy some usual stuff. This week they also offered digital microscopes. One was left, so I had to purchase!
I did not expect any great hardware, but I’m astonished! First because it works on my sidux without any driver or manual work, just had to connect it to my USB port! And secondly I did not thought that 200 times magnification is such a high zoom rate..
How ever, I already had a lot of fun with it and prepared a puzzle. Here are some zoomed images and you can try to guess where it came from. Suggestions can be posted via comment, those of you who found a right solutions are invited to drink a beer with me ;)

Okay, ich habe mir die Aufnahmen mal angeschaut. Ist ganz schön schwierig, habe mir aber trotzdem ein paar Gedanken gemacht. Es geht ja immerhin um ein Bier! Bei allen Vorschlägen mit einem + davor bin ich mir ziemlich sicher:
Wow, very good! With 10 correct answers you could snatch 10 free beers at your next visit in Halle ;)
hoping to break the record……
all of other pics i am not allowed to solve :(
And 2 beers for Christoph R.! Maybe we’ll meet tomorrow for having some drinks? :P
I hope I get a bottle of beer….
Nice try, 5 beers for you!
If the color of R ist gray? Then it’s a SunRay 1(G).
