These are false colour scanning electron microscope images. Can you guess what they are?

They are false colour scanning electron microscope images.

Top is cut hair on a multiblade wet razor
2nd looks like a bacterial culture of some kind
3rd could be a compound eye
4th I would guess are some kind of sensory hairs

How many out of 4?

You got the first right and the second (would you like to guess where it is?) but not the third. I'll give you half marks on the fourth ;)

Edited the OP to add that they are false colour scanning electron microscope images.

The second is probably somewhere really mundane like your finger. Somewhere you would think would be clean to give a high 'Yuc' factor.

The third was the most difficult as it's a semi-regular structure, they look like eggs but some are shrivelled up, so they are either not yet fully formed or have discharged in some way, or have done their job and are withering away. The outgrowths between the eggs look protective or sensory in nature. I think they might be seed of some type, not necessarily plant seeds. Getting any closer?

4th a hairy mole.

Yep, though not your finger...

A hint: it's where you can really get a sensory 'yuc' feeling...

Getting closer.

A hint: the colour scheme is actually very close to what it really is.

Then it'll be your tongue. That thought did cross my mind earlier.

It's a strawberry! And those are the tiny seeds on the outside!

Are they inside or outside the body? I'm thinking nasal hairs?

Outside. Though they do share sort of a common function with nasal hairs.
