Some great ideas.
Your ice cube shots reminded me of a grain of sugar I shot (through a microscope)

A fun macro shot is of a watch with glowing second hand.
Set up shot in the light ensuring that focus point is on the h ands not the watch glass turn out lights
Shine a torch on the watch, tour has off start camera.
After about 15 to 20 sec the glow on my watch starts to fade I have all the points of the numbers lit and a slow fade to the second hand
