Magic Banana: Thanks for the heads-up. FSF doesn't like mis-appropriation
either. It pollutes the code.
The first two images in question are part of an online course, open to all
without any payment, which I participated in and then preserved fifty years
later, all at my own expense. Folks access that course from all over the
world, every day, so their education continues even after my own university
has long since abandoned it.
Similarly, the third image is one which I made with a long-obsolete
microscope, an early digital camera, and an early computer, but with a modern
imaging technique that makes use of the unique abilities of the polarizing
illumination system in the obsolete microscope, demonstrating that the
obsolete microscope can produce an image every bit as good as a modern
microscope, but with the flexibility of the old microscope.
