Science Experiments / Anyone seen images through microscope?

I've heard of mass hallucinations (if the six of us there can constitute a "mass").. and of course the power of suggestion could have played a part. Whether all the others were seeing the exact same thing I was; I can only judge by their descriptions and agreements. In an earlier post I suggested it looked like a sliver of transparency "on" the surface, thinking about it, that's not accurate - it looked more embedded at the surface level, but not like it was projected onto the surface. Taking turns I probably saw it 5 or 6 times before it was lost, and it was always the same. The colors were distinct and true, not tainted by the tan to brownish color of the salt itself. When the table was bumped and the image lost, the same crystal was definitely gone from view. I wish I'd had the sense to try micro adjusting the slide - to see if that would have been enough to lose or change the image. To see the same crystal before or after the image might have been useful.
