Micro Lightweaving?

[Trusk'our he/him]

If you were to take a microscope and look at a Lightweaving, would it hold up to inspection at a microscopic scale, or would you be able to use this as a method of checking whether someone's face was real?

I think it depends on the individual lightweaving, the person who makes it, and how detailed they make it.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to put a lightweaving onto a microscope slide given tat the ones we have seen ten to be insubstantial. you can't just hold a microscope up to something/someone and expect it to work, they require preparation and light sources and focusing etc (or at least that's what I recall from the last time i used one). they also tend only to work on small thing.  if you had clothing or something that had a lightweaving attached to it and tried to cut off a small piece to examine, I would guess the lightweaving would fade from it pretty quickly, but if it somehow didn't, or someone had attached one to a small enough piece of something to put on a microscope slide then it would almost certainly depend on the details of how the lightweaving was created. I suspect Shallan is detailoriented enough that it would hold up under pretty strong magnification, but would break down as it approached the limits of her knowledge of textiles or a best chemistry and molecules and atoms and the like
