Experiment on Resolution: Full-sized images

Here are the full-sized images which made up the collage on the previous page, in order of increasing magnification.  All images were processed as near identically in Registax3 as I could manage. Except where indicated, all were done with resampling X2 (Mitchell option) during alignment.  The major effect of enlarement seems to be loss of contrast.
