That's the stuff, well done Gloria. It's part of a salt crystal under a scanning electron microscope.

Sorry Ken but no. It's far older technology than that. Go back to what Cathy said, she is closer than anyone else.

Sorry Cathy but no. However you have helped Kev to get there, it's a gas jet for a gas lamp. In this case one that was used in a caravan. You're far too young to remember that technology Cathy!
Next one?

No, sorry, it's nothing to do with bees, spider's wings, or moths. Keep trying!

No, not fungus but I can see why you suggested it (and likewise for the other suggestions above).
You're all focusing on biology - let your minds wander a bit!
