I searched for 3d sand and sand microscope, so sorry if it's a repost.

Why would you apologize if it's a repost before anyone else has responded? GROW A BACKBONE!!!

:laugh: Well, I'd like to think of myself as not one of the people who reposts stuff without care or searching haha.

Some of those pics remind me of looking at sand grains in geology a couple semesters ago. The coolest thing I saw then was a perfectly smooth and spherical micrometeorite. I wonder what that would have looked like under this 3D scope.

Couldn't I just grow a silica lattice structure like the sponges do?

Im assuming you've never created a thread that was a repost. People here are vicious, and an advance apology is like have airbags in a car...just in case.

Neat! I had no idea sand looked like this close up.
