In the Cores section, the blue figure box links to the core
photo. The viewer must click on the figure box to see the PDF
file containing the photo.
The images are reduced to 300 dpi. These are large files, and
presented in color. Without an optimal system, they will be slow
to open. The average image file size is 300 KB.
The original images were scanned at 1200 dpi with no compression;
hence, the average full-core image file is more than 50 MB in
size. These images are available from ODP in TIF format. Contact:

Color is affected by the translation into Acrobat format. All
files are slightly darker than the originals.
Monitors need to be calibrated to a standard available with most
graphic software applications. An 18% gray card is included on
every core image for calibration.
