40X coronal stomach section, stained for actin. Click for high res. Scale bar = 200um.The resolution I managed to get here is so exquisite and the result so beautiful that I am very tempted to get a 5'x6' giclee print of it and hang it on my everything.

It's just like a red jewel. It's lovely!
Dude, why do your scale bars always run off the left side of the image?
Ha! Verification word = "scalized"
Gotta agree with AA here. Am I supposed to actually interpret that crazy skinny white line as a scale bar? Come on now, archnemesis!
The program in the microscope core facility that adds in the scale bar is incredibly inflexible with regards to the scale bar's size or its placement. I'm pretty much limited to changing the color, thickness of the line, and font of the numbers on top, which in my opinion take up far too much space.
And I said it's 200um in the caption, so don't go telling me that it isn't a scale bar. I know a jerboa from a hamster.
Yeah but it runs off the side of your image. How do I know where the other end of 200um is if I can't even see it? Am I supposed to guess? Come on, you can't publish that shit if you have your scale bars sliding off into nothingness.
Our acquisition software makes shitty scale bars too, so I save 2 images - one with and one without. Then I go in and add a better looking one to the image without a bar with Illustrator or Photoshop that is based on the software's bar.
