Do not be swayed by pubic opinion.  

Could be a fragment of a urine mite or other parasite.  Maybe Candida albicans.   Wouldn't hurt to show to a urologist.

Does no one else have an opinion or is 'it's a pube' the consensus ? lol

It could be a uric acid crystal. Here's a picture I found of some on the internet:

To me, your picture does not look biological, but more likely chemical. But I am prejudiced, of course.😀

Nailed it, I reckon.

Without a good indication of scale, it's very hard to identify things.

(I know you say 400 and 1000 magnification, but is that on my phone or on my widescreen telly?)

Comparison with a hair at the same magnification might be informative.

Fiber or other artifact. Microfilaria in urine at magnifcations, but it doesn't have a macro helminth head afaik like 100x10. Stain it?

Definitely not helminth, given the size.  Given the segmentation in the closer image, I have doubts about the uric acid crystals theory.  If it's a fiber, I would lean towards something that got into the clothing and transferred to the outlet opening.  It's not cotton, though.   Might be worth checking micro images of mineral wool (fiberglass, in the US) or other sorts of batt insulation, if the donor was working around a building site, that kind of thing.

Might be a help if @Qwerty2022 could update with a little more info on the pee source.
