Comment Great picture but... what is an Aceria anthocoptes? --Dtarazona 14:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oh! I found some related in Eriophyidae, maybe could be a good idea put some information in the file summary.
- Support It's a pity that the antennae is cut off and the image is upscaled. --Richard Bartz 15:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

- Comment - According to the scale in the image the mite is about 0.08mm. 1400 times that means 11cm, which is much less than the size of the critter in full size. Was the original picture upsampled? -- Alvesgaspar 21:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Excellent question. I wasn't the original uploader. All I can say is that I found the same pic on a government website (minus the scale) and it appeared to have been the same resolution. Possibly upsampled at the source. Durova 23:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Oppose The picture could be perfect, but if the scale could be wrong and it is missing deeper information how it was processed, espatially how the colors were done (because, they probably not original) its value is falling down.--Juan de Vojníkov 08:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- That is a scanning electron microscop view, a process only giving BW views then colorized. It is not optical photography. No value is lost and scale seems credible.--B.navez 02:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thx for your information. I repeat myself "it is missing deeper information how the colors were done and the scale could be wrong". You are right, electrons doesnt have colours.--Juan de Vojníkov 22:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
