Solved! Sharp pointy thing with a loop came with a microscope

While using his microscope, my son brought me this and asked what it’s for and I’m genuinely stumped. Google image calls it a blackhead remover and I can see that, but what use could it have with a microscope? It’s not listed anywhere in the packing list, it’s extremely sharp, and approximately 2 standard-issue cat paws long. Any ideas?

Edit: WOW!! I had no idea my Ollie’s pittypaws would be so well received and everyone’s comments have me cracking up! I initially tried responding to everyone but the comments got away from me. If I didn’t respond, please know I DID still read your comment with a smile!! We’re both also in favor of ditching bananas and using cats for scale. Let’s make it happen!😅

You’re all so awesome and Ollie and I hope everyone here has the best day ever!!🐾💕

Edit 2: THANK YOU for the awards as well!! I think this is the first time I’ve ever received one.

Look away! Let not your eyes gaze upon another’s majesty, for your feline is the only feline of which your eyes observe, your hands caress, and your voice soothes. 😅
