These are the 35 copper plates that accompanied
Ernst Haeckel's Radiolaria book from 1862.
This volume has kindly been provided by Prof. Dr. Peter
von Sengbusch (Institut für allgemeine Botanik, Hamburg, Germany).
The 35 plates were scanned by Kurt Stüber using a Hewlett Packard ScanJet 6100C flat bed scanner. Earch plate was scanned twice: 1. using 100 dpi resolution and 2. using 300 dpi resolution, since 100 dpi did not reproduce all the fine details of the engravings. The size of the 100 dpi scans is about 3 MByte (uncompressed) or about 500 to 700 KByte (compressed). The 300 dpi scans range at about 27 MByte (uncompressed) or 4 MByte (compressed). This 300 dpi scan are not available on this offline version but can be retrieved by following the internet links given below. A full list of the species names (as given by Ernst Haeckel) has been prepared by Dr. G. Keuck.
Hint: Use the 100 dpi scans for viewing in your browser. The 300 dpi scans are so big, that they probably will not been displayed by your browser. Better download them into your computer and use Photoshop or any other image manipulation program to display or print them in high quality.
