These images were obtained via Kodak Photo CD. The upper image (k hr 200) is from the high resolution Photo CD file (1536 x 1024 pixels, 4 Mb), and edited in Adobe Photoshop. The lower image used the same procedures but is from the base Photo CD file (768 x 512 pixels, 1 Mb).

The original image was captured by photographing a section of the brain of a Tasmanian pademelon or Rufous wallaby (Thylogale billardieri) on Kodachrome 35 mm film using our specially designed slide holder and illuminator, and a 42 mm Leitz Summar Macro lens on a Pentax 35 mm SLR camera with bellows extension for the lens (see Methods). Horizontal section stained with Thionine (Nissl Method).

For printing, the composite image was then resized in Photoshop to 200 ppi and 8 Mb. Excellent prints were then produced on the Kodak XL 7700 dye sublimation printer, by DLM Imaging, Madison, WI. Thylogale billardieri Tasmanian pademelon or Rufous wallaby Horizontal section Nissl stain (thionine)
