Ku-Jaku and Syo-Ro look nearly identical to me.

 

They also look nearly identical to me, even though Syo-ro is oh-so-subtly more blue and Ku-jaku equally subtly more green. I don't know whether it has to do with my bottles of ink being pretty old — I bought the 50ml bottle of Syo-ro in February 2013, and the 15ml bottle of Ku-jaku mid-2018 — and Ku-jaku, in particular, has been opened quite often.

 

Noodler's Ink Air-Corp Blue-Black stands out in those five by having no sheen.

Ah, the problem child - there had to be at least one out of the five...

It needs to be ostracised, alienated, and forced to go on a hero's journey to discover it has a sheen after all, just not in ways others expect, and that becomes the key to its triumph and/or the inky landscape's salvation in the end.

I'm looking forward to a full entertainment set of Liz's EF Dried Ink Patterns with The Magic Kick! 

I have a microscope here.  I'd rather look at Liz's set than pollen or bug wings.

I actually had the wild idea that I should make an e-book of inky microscope slides...  Now I'm having the idea that it should be inky microscope slides and silly inky fiction...

In analogy to Terry Pratchett's The Carpet People, now we expect from you, @LizEF, a new storyline about

The Ink People!  Tiny lifeforms in each bottle ...

The back of my brain will work on it.  I once made up a story (can't remember if I wrote it down - I would have been in high school at the time) that took place inside an Epson PC (the kind with two 5" floppy drives - the good old days).  As I recall, Ms. Dos was trapped endlessly spinning on a hard drive and our hero - Mr. Epson came swinging in, Tarzan style, on some cable or other to rescue her...

Micro fiction is a thing, you know! I don't think they normally mean that it requires 40x magnification(though perhaps they do, metaphorically), but this could be a fun project.  Many of Amy Hempel's stories would fit if the nib were fine enough.

Not what I was thinking, but now the back of my brain has more to play with!
