The Ware for November 2013 is shown below.
Clearly, it’s a magnified view of something…

Disk ??
i mean Hard disk plate
Likes like some sort of laminate or some sort of wood, it as a grain in the darker area, and then seems to be covered in epoxy that is drilled, or has bubbles.
No idea of what it could be.
Some fancy iPod dock made with mahogany?
I think its an extremely magnified view of an led. The bubbles are in the epoxy layer and the yellow we’re seeing is the phosphor layer.
is it Z-axis conductive tape?
I think you win.
Woo-hoo!
It’s interesting that the white dots appear to be on top of the yellow part, but underneath the clear part.
Just an illusion from the limited depth of focus, I think.
My guess is that it’s a pixel from an LCD screen or OLED display.
I’ve seen a few things like this under a scope… it could be
-A PCB (possibly flex) section sample, like https://nuxx.net/gallery/d/97799-2/IMG_6171.jpg
-Some kind of optical package, like an image-sensor. Possibly cast with defects in the epoxy, which I’ve seen in optical packages I’ve worked on.
-A flex PCB.
Things to note are the Au-plated circuit, which seems to be bent going by the odd perspective on that large curve. Along with the orange substrate (PI?) this suggests flex. Bubbles suggest optical / clear epoxy, maybe the white blobs are casting defects.
As to what it is… who knows! Well, obviously you know :-)
Kapton Tape on top of something, like a USB socket.
Flexible PCB/ribbon cable connector material. The darker area is conductive, the lighter is not. All encased in some polymer to avoid shorts.
To be precise: flat flex connector.

An alien eyeball!
In the spirit of coming up with new ideas:
Could be some bacteria in a petri dish
I think the distribution of “bubbles” look a bit too regular to not have any funtion.
I’m going to guess it’s either:
– one of those mousepads that are optimized for optical mice
– some kind of diffraction grating (for a Kinect maybe?)
– or some type of writable optical media (CD-R?)
Scalpel blade
its a led
Well the most recent post kind of gives it away… ;)
I wonder if it was intentional or bunnie just forgot what he had posted to ntw ?
:)
Whisker formation on, maybe, a silicon substrate ?
Late and wrong.
