I also note that this photo is not properly credited to its creator. I know this because I produced this image in 1983 while conducting research at McMurdo Station, Antarctica. How it was posted and proliferated on the internet, I do not know. I am flattered that you (and so many others) chose to use this image. While this image is in the public domain and not copyrighted, I think it only fair and ethical that you properly cite its creator. I would greatly appreciate it if you update your web page to associate the following with that image: “Photo Credit: Prof. Gordon T. Taylor, Stony Brook University, USA” Note that until March 2008, this image was incorrectly attributed to Dr. Neal Sullivan, but he and I remedied this with the cooperation of the NOAA photo library curator and Wikipedia webmaster. You can verify my story by visiting the following sites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diatoms_through_the_microscope.jpg http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/htmls/corp2365.htm I am happy to report that you can also see this and four other of my images on permanent display in the Smithsonian’s “Science on Sphere” exhibit in the new Sant Ocean Hall (Museum of Natural History) in Washington, D.C. (See - http://ocean.si.edu/ocean_hall/, http://ocean.si.edu/ocean_hall/making_movies.html and http://ocean.si.edu/ocean_hall/press_releases/finalScienceOnASphereFactsheet.pdf ) Respectfully Yours, Prof. Gordon T.
