Hi Charlie,
This is Morton's Kosher table salt, with crystals ranging from about .3mm to
2mm, in irregular dimensions. The final posted image is about ten percent
of a 4/3-frame, because focus is so critical that it is difficult to keep a
larger area in focus. Hope this helps you to understand what you are
seeing. Thanks for your interest.
