Sand under microscope, 250x magnification Picture This: A beach + sunshine & the ocean = perfect vacation! Today we want to take a closer look at the sand , which we normally just enjoy walking on barefoot! It is interesting to see, it contains many colorful pieces that look very different from each other. Sand, is such a complex topic - there are even a few books about it! :) Like this one: A Grain Of Sand - Nature's Secret Wonder by Dr. Gary Greenberg , who took these photos. A quote from his website describes it perfectly: ' Each grain of sand represents a moment captured in time .  It is somewhere on its path from its creation to erosion and recycling back into the earth'.
