So trying for 'most boring' picture. Back in the 1980s I spent a lot of time looking down microscopes and setting them up on an almost daily basis to count asbestos fibres. One check done every time the microscope was adjusted was to look at a test slide made by the National Physical Laboratory and designed by the HSE. There were 6 groups of lines (20 per group) made as a resin replica of a master glass plate with lines ranging from 1.1 microns (a micron being 1/1000 of a mm) down to 0.25 microns. Only the best microscopes properly adjusted and using phase contrast could see these lines down to the fifth group, sometimes you could just get a hint of group six. This is a photomicrograph of the first group taken using an Olympus microscope and my Pentax KX on Kodak Colour Plus 100. I do have a print that you can just make out group 5 but never managed to scan that well enough.
