Hairy Plant Parts

Plants seem to often be covered with a fine transparent fur. Stamens and stalks and fruits and leaves show this on close inspection. Here are a few photos to prove it!

Above is from the inside of a flower. The photo below is a very tiny early tomato, and below that, a stalk from a tomato plant, which clearly hasn't shaved in at least a week.
Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
