In keeping with the spices and seasonings theme, here is a photo of the underside of a dried bay leaf. I hadn't expected so much detail to be visible, and I'm quite impressed by what we can see at this level of magnification.
You can see an enlarged section of the bay leaf below. This is blown up to almost a 1:1 pixel ratio to what was captured by the camera. See what I mean about sharp lines being nonexistant in the tiny world?

I've figured out my magnification level, in case anyone was interested. My hacked-together lens setup is getting me roughly 6x magnification from what we see with our eyes. Now, keep in mind, that number is related to the sensor size in my camera, meaning that the lenses are enlarging the subject 6x from reality and that is the image I snap with my camera. So the 800 pixel wide images you see here in my blog (the enlargement directly above not included) at roughly 175mm (depending on your computer's display) are about 8x the size of my camera sensor.
This puts the true enlargement of my photos here on the MorningMacro at 19.4x the size they are in real life.
Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
