Subject

Grains of sand, often bits of shells, at 300x magnification.

Description

And we can get smaller.

"The tip of a spiral shell has broken off and become a grain of sand. After being repeatedly tumbled by action of the surf this spiral sand grain has become opalescent in character. It is surrounded by bits of coral, a pink shell fragment, a foram (a type of protozoa) and volcanic material."
