Maybe pollen in the upper right? Wow, and is that a collection of rbc’s, maybe a sloughed scab, or maybe squamous epithelium in the lower right? I’m tending to think it’s a scab because squamous epithelium (skin) would be a little flatter and maybe not have that toroidal look. The rest must be fibrous nylon and the like, but what’s that in the upper left, looking like a sea monster?
Did you follow the scientifically sound 5 second rule, Marc Ponomareff ? 😉 I’m guessing pollen or some sort of plant spore. I don’t know of a microbe that looks like that.
madame scientist's not-so-mad musings 
Much more colourful than I imagined.
That reminds me that I have a dust mite plush toy: http://www.giantmicrobes.com/us/products/dustmite.html It’s not colourful at all. 😦

Dust?
uh-oh… Just a short while ago I ate a chocolate after it had fallen onto the carpet 😉
J Stasko is not the only one wondering: just wth is that in the upper left, Rajini Rao?

Rules be damned, Rajini Rao, we’re talking about chocolate here..
I hope you at least blew on it, LOL!
That dust is cleaner than my house!
