I am not sure why you think credentials are necessary to assert the verifiable fact that these pictures were published in the original journal Science with a scale indicating that they are microscopic

Alas, as a demonstration on the importance of scale, I wanted to post here the link to the 'Meat or Accident? website--but it seems to exist no more. It was a quiz wherein one had to guess if a given photograph depicted something suitable for the table or should be shipped to emergency. It only worked because there was no indication of scale.

Pity how some neat stuff like that website just disappears.

You are so delicate on the other side of the mighty Atlantic ocean. In many places in this country, there are roadkill laws, dictating what you have to do to convert into table fare the critter you just ran into in your pick up. Usually it just has to be tagged, to make sure you don't make a practice of running down white tailed deer to expand your bag limit.

So accident is meat.
