Macro Mysteries to Solve

If not sugar then possibly artificial sweetener?

Let's see. It's not exactly sugar, but it does contain sugar.

Cookie of some sort?

Not at all what I would call a cookie. And, as far as I know, don't think anyone else would either.

The image captures a majority of the object.

I'll leave that one to be pondered for a bit.

Here is another and it's a bit different. A near 1:1 shot of sunlight reflecting off of something. What is the something?

Compared to a marshmallow, it is hard.

Aquarium glass.

Aquarium glass.

Not glass of any kind, though I suppose the material this is made of may be related to some types of glass. This is probably going to be too hard unless someone has seen a similar reflection.

Here's two more shots of the same object reflecting the same sunlight at different angles and maybe a bit further away that #122.

A prism? Those aren't frosty though...

Not a prism. It is reflection from a flat surface. Note the surface is flat from our perspective, but obvious there is some variation by the way the light is refracted.

And this is totally unrelated to the image in post #107. That one is still unsolved.

#107 - marzipan?

#122 - reflecting off a water droplet? ** Drat, just noticed you said a 'flat' surface!

#107 - Marzipan is closest yet. Being that specific I can't call it because there's no almond meal in it. Should I reveal or give it a bit more ponder time??

#122 - It is a very, very common item. Likely you have one within reach.

I'm no cook, icing sugar?

and the nearest thing to hand is my iPhone

 

[Eyelight]

#107 is a mint. Altoid to be precise. Could have almost maybe say it was solved with the sugar guess because sugar is the first ingredient, but then not exactly.

Come to think of it, people don't use these as much as they did 10 years ago, and don't think anybody used them 20 years ago, but when they were used, they were usually within reach.

 

[Eyelight]

Too tough I reckon. #122 is a DVD. I took one out just to macro the surface and when I laid it in the sun for the shot.......

 

[Eyelight]

Okay. Back to the easy stuff. Near 1:1 uncropped.

That looks like the edge of cut stone.

Edge - yes, cut - yes, stone - nope.

Knife blade

Knife blade

Don't you think that's a bit rough for a blade of a knife?? hint... hint
