•  Request Could you please provide a magnification factor and/or at least a rough estimate of how big the things we see in this picture are in reality (Micrometers, Nanometers, even smaller)? A scale bar would be great, if possible. --El Grafo (talk) 11:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

  @El Grafo: I will look for the raw data to make an exact scalebar and reupload. But to give you an idea, from how I image I can tell you (and anyone else interested) now that the pixel size would be 40±3nm so the whole image would be ~163x163(±12.5)um and I know that the thinnest filaments that you can make out would be 140±30nm, which is about the limit of achievable resolution on a light microscope.

•  Comment Very interesting. I'm ready to support once all relevant metadata has been added to the file page. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:11, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

  @El Grafo: @Slaunger: I've replaced the image with one that has a scalebar, there is also some additional metadata in the file description that I pulled from the lif file. Methylman251 (talk) 10:19, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

  thanks →  Support --El Grafo (talk) 13:10, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

  @Methylman251: : Thanks, sorry I did not come back quick enough to support before the nomination was closed. Not that it would have changed the outcome though. -- Slaunger (talk) 06:16, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

•  Support --Jacek Halicki (talk) 13:09, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Posterization in some places, but that's totally understandable given the situation. Great image ... with more like these, we won't need mushrooms. Daniel Case (talk) 20:56, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
