What Am I Challenge #2
This is #2 in a series of pictures. I will post a picture of something at 200x magnification, then 60x, then 10x, and finally at 1x. The first person to identify the item gets prize money based on the current magnification level of the picture.
- 200x = e$10,000
- 60x = e$5,000
- 10x = e$1,000
- 1x = e$500
As people make guesses I might add clues that will help (or misdirect  ) your guesses. To help spread the wealth, the prior winner (conbrio) is not eligible to win.
Hall of Fame
What Am I? #1 conbrio
Total prizes paid to date: e$5,000
And here is the current picture at 200x. I actually think someone should be able to guess what this is even at this magnification, so it's an easy shot at e$10,000:

I told you it was easy.  Nailed it on the first guess. Here are the 60x and 10x pictures of some grains of salt.
60x
10x
NaCl aka Sodium Chloride aka table salt. Nice job, frusnak. I'll send your prize money shortly. I'll see what I can get as far as pictures for the next challenge shortly. |

Iodine or sea salt? The crystals form slightly different.
Sugar BTW forms hexagon crystals. |

I have sugar too, guess I won't be using it for the game now.  Sugar - from my pics anyway - exhibited a variety of shapes. The salt picture is ordinarly table salt. |
