Very nice presentation and an interesting subject. I am surprised at the granularity of the metal; I remember the days before disposable needles, when we had to re-sharpen, re-sterilize and reuse. I would cringe to see one of those at this magnification!
Looking forward so seeing more of your work.

Thanks to all for nice words ;-)
I must admit that my knowledge of English is poor;-/
@Charles Krebs, you're right - is a yellowish coloring. I think I know where it comes from - although I use the automatic white balance mode but the yellow color is a diffuser effect, i.e. the white plastic illuminated by the flash is not 100% white but gives a yellowish color - maybe this results in a yellowish appearance reflections on photographed objects.

Many of the "household" items that are used for diffusion (like yogurt cups and other food/drink containers) do filter out a significant amount of the blue wavelengths. You can do a custom white balance before shooting or make a correction in an editing program.you're right - is a yellowish coloring.
