In the printed text, all illustrations were labeled with their scale, varying from × 190 (highly magnified) to × 1 (actual size). The exact size of images on a computer screen depends largely on your monitor type; settings can generally not be changed without affecting other aspects of the display. The scale shown here was used for all measured illustrations. It may appear slightly larger or smaller than intended. Most illustrations link to unscaled larger views.
