It would! There are some modern stained glass windows out there. The National Cathedral has a “Space Window” with a piece of moon rock embedded in it.

That window is the only specific detail I could remember from my 7th grade trip to the cathedral (and DC) in 1979(?), and it was just the same, when we were back again a few years ago. I hear Gustav Holsts’s Planets in my head, when I see it.
These aren’t microscopic images, they’re normal size images of enlarged microscopic things

The radula is probably identifiable, but I have done very little with freshwater groups, and pretty much nothing with radular morphology. Being freshwater limits it to ampullariids, viviparids, certain nerites, “cerithioids”, “truncatelloids”, hygrophilans, and a few random things that are in normally marine groups.
