- Reason
- Adds value to the article by providing clear comparison between the structure of the woods. Resolution slightly too low, but probably the best available on the SEM.

- Oppose - Surely this would be better if the images were at the same degree of magnification. - ]
- oppose per hahnchen. Yes, the resolution might not get better but by zooming into each you would see a lot more detail. Debivort 05:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Support as Creator Firstly, thanks for the nomination! I took these pictures a year or so ago for my degree course. Secondly, the SEM images are designed to show that in hardwoods there are pores (i.e. the big black holes) which are absent in softwoods. The difference in magnification does not affect this comparison, and scale bars are provided if comparison of other features (not the intention of the pictures) is desired. Also, by zooming in to see "more detail" you would loose the overview of the surface which shows the number and distribution of the pores. I understand the resolution of the images is slightly below FP guidelines, but this is the output of the SEM I was using. A similar picture is in the Vessel element article --McKDandy 14:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- Weak support. They don't show a very good scale (just for visualization), but they do serve encyclopedic purposes. <3 bunny 02:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
