Information on the camera and the the specifications for it can be found here: http://astrogeology.usgs.gov/Projects/MER-AthenaMI/microscopic_imager.html
Does anyone know where to find information on the image? I would like to know what terrain the picture is in (solid rock, soil, etc.), the scale of the image (microns, mm, meters), and lighting (natural, artificial, high/low angle, etc.). Pictures of rock/soil with no scales are difficult to interpret for processes that create structure. Without image info, it could be a photomicrograph of an rock, or a picture of a planet surface from orbit. The scale invariance of geology is always fun. :)
