Posted to Beaver Island Historical Society (Facebook page) by Beaver Island Historical Society on 2015-07-21 20:08:15. Caption as posted: "The crowd at the CMU Boathouse was pretty big today. Lots of scientific research being shown by some dedicated and smart young people. Microscopes were available to take a peek see at some of microorganisms being studied, like the one we see here. Part of the fresh water mussel study. The display reminded me of my fourth grade science project on clouds, except more specific. Although, I did a pretty good job of gluing cotton balls on poster board. Picture taken with an iphone6."
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A close-up photograph shows a translucent, rounded biological specimen against a pale background. Several pale rounded forms and indistinct internal structures are visible within it, along with a dark tapered projection near the upper edge. The image is softly focused and fills most of the frame.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The accompanying post, dated July 21, 2015, says the image was taken at the CMU Boathouse during a scientific research display. It mentions microscopes, microorganisms, and a freshwater mussel study, but the image itself does not establish the specimen's identity.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The specimen's species, scale, and exact structures cannot be identified from the image.

Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
