It would be interesting to see the differences among strengths of a given reed brand and model. The difference in strength, for example, between a #3 and a #4 Vandoren V.12 is supposed to be the result of the greater density of the cane the stronger (higher number) reed is made from. It would be interesting to see what that actually looks like.

It would also be very instructive to see how a reed's structure changes over one, two or three wetting/drying cycles, as from the first time you play on a reed, through the next two or three playings. We all know a reed's response changes over these first few wet/dry cycles - it's the reason for all the various routines players develop to "break in" new reeds. But most of us just intuit what physical changes actually take place.

Would your equipment be able to make microbes visible growing in the cane? They might be too small or need some additional technique (dye?) to make them visible.

I've seen fairly detailed photos of reeds in articles before, but I don't think at the level of magnification and resolution you're suggesting.
