This is probably the wrong category - sorry for that.
I purchased these - obviously laser cut - but I have no idea if the GF could cut something this small. They were made in Europe somewhere.

I think so. You’d have to do some serious kerf adjusting.

Correct on category - Everything Else is the catch all 
Those are tiny - but I don’t see why it couldn’t. Figure the beam size is .007 inches - so you can measure (the kerf adjusting @jules just mentioned) to get 'em right!

In early testing days users engraved rice and mustard seeds, so I think something like this could be scored/cut by the Glowforge without much trouble. Give it a try, but keep a close eye since the cuts are so close together.

You’ll get best results with cuts this small in thin materials, where you can move pretty quickly and avoid scorching your pieces.
Your second problem is going to be keeping the pieces from falling into your crumb tray, something like aluminum foil behind your material would probably be a good plan.

As my eyesight deteriorates with age, seeing things like this makes me wonder why would anyone want to make such small things?

I agree, could be done…but can’t help but ask-what is it???

I think it’s part of a toy train, based on the second photo.

Pretty sure the Glowforge can engrave that small (like they said - grain of rice) but two points still need to be addressed:
1: I would think that engraving a train onto your thumbnail would hurt?
2: How would you get your thumb through the pass-through slot (assuming you’re using a pro…)?

Yes - they are 1:48 scale Christmas ornaments and 1:144 trains. I like TINY miniatures.
