This is the prize-winning "Chisai Benjo" ('Small Toilet'), by Takahashi Kaito of SSI Nanotechnology, Inc. The object is magnified ~15,000X, using an SMI2050MS2 (of course). It recently won an award at The 49th International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photo Beam Technology and Nanofabrication Bizarre/Beautiful Micrograph Contest, all of which can be seen here.

That there's an award for this only makes me more resolved to finally give out my own awards for such ridiculous categories as "best moan-wave female vocal flutter" or "best application of Boss Line 6 pedal for unintended purpose."
