• Support – It would be nice if the image had a scale (like this). Also wouldn't a jpeg version be more accessible? Article says Ebola strands are about 80nm wide, so 1um is about 312pixels. May be the file description can say something about the scale of things, magnification alone doesn't do much good! Bammesk (talk) 01:20, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
• Support but I'd probably at least add an explicit link at the top of the description to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Ebola_Virus_-_Electron_Micrograph.tiff/lossy-page1-3604px-Ebola_Virus_-_Electron_Micrograph.tiff.jpg to allow easier in-browser viewing.
