Image quality
The images have been optimised to show particular features, some of which are difficult to demonstrate using images with a file size appropriate for the internet. Where there are findings that are particularly difficult to show, close-up images have been used.
If you have a small screen, you may find it helpful to use the zoom in function on your browser.
