In regards to the post below, Jigga came the closest as to identifying what material was in the picture. It’s my desk, or more specifically, the fake wood on it. My Dad was right in that I put my camera up to a microscope to get the image. It works better than I would have imagined, and the microscope I used is one I’ve had for years. It’s 100x and hand held, called the Smart 2. It comes with a base and some slides, but I usually just put it up to things. I had friends who had different versions of this, one combined a microscope and a telescope.

My desk sags under the weight of my computer monitors. The drawers can’t shut properly because of that.
