Our curiosity knows no boundaries because humans as we are, we always want to know every tiny detail there is about things.
With the invention of microscopes, we are able to zoom in on objects a thousand times and experience a whole new world beyond our ordinary vision.
Thanks to microscopes, we can see what chalk or a human’s tongue and other ordinary things look like on a different scale.
Peek inside the core of ordinary things that surround us every day and discover something unearthly under a microscope.

Chalk
If you put chalk under a powerful microscope, you will see something like this. Because it’s not just a rock. It’s an accumulation of ancient skeletons: the armored husks of single-celled, ocean-dwelling plankton. The photo was taken by WelshTractor on Reddit.
Ballpoint
This picture was taken by the University of Reading using a scanning electron microscope to look at the metal ball in the pen more closely. As shown in the image, the ball looks very smooth and untarnished.

Eyelashes help keep dust and other debris from entering our eyes. But in our modern-day, they have become an object of beauty. The photo was taken using an electron microscope by @aminessuck on Reddit.
