This Web site may provide links to very large detailed images that may exceed the browser window size even if the window is maximized. Some browsers have the capability of scaling these large images to fit in the browser window, but unfortunately this reduces the quality of the image and legibility of the information. If an image changes size to fill the browser window as the window is resized, the scaling feature has been enabled.

The scaling feature should be disabled to view the image at best quality, albeit requiring use of browser window scrollbars to view the entire image. To disable the image scaling:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer:
  Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced, scroll down to the Multimedia section, and uncheck the Enable Automatic Image Resizing option.

• Firefox:
  Select Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General and uncheck the Resize larger images to fit in the browser window option in the Browsing section.
