This is the skin surface and two images of an individual scale of the fish Solea solea (Dover Sole). The first image is 5X reflected polarised light and the others are 10X in transmitted, cross polarised, light (the last one has the full wave plate inserted).

Fish scales make great subjects for polarised light. Scales from Solea are a classic.

Salmon scales from your dinner are also very good, though they may need a bit of a clean.
