 * Support We have precious few quality medical photographs and this is a particularly well-lit, descriptive example. --mikaultalk 08:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support High enc, good looking. Not perfectly sharp in full size, but good enough considering its large size. --Janke | Talk 09:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support, very nice image showing the topic clearly. --Reinoutr (talk) 11:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak support. As Janke says, it might need a sharpening on the right hand side. That said, a slightly downsampled version would still convey all the essential information. Would give full support to a sharpened/downsampled version. Samsara (talk • contribs) 22:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose not super technical quality. Also I think the caption is confusing (not nominator's fault - came from the .gov site) - the colonies on the plate cannot be RBCs (they are non-mitotic) and I would guess they are staph colonies plated onto some sort of RBC media. Not sure what's going on scientifically here. de Bivort 02:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support both informative and subtly mysterious. -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 22:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I honestly cannot see a "halo" on the right plate. I don't like the blurred condensation on the left plate. The image in the agar plate info box shows how plates can be more visually interesting, and I simply don't think that this a high quality, informative image.  However, because this looks like it is going to pass, it needs a more explanatory caption. I think adding as a second sentence "Both plates show positive infections." would be helpful.  - Enuja  (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * comment - i think it might be the soft glow.  Jaakobou Chalk Talk  19:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
