Thanks for that ^^^

It all makes one wonder how they managed to get the address academia.edu

... A fink is still a fink by any other name, I guess.

Not yet, I’m afraid, Andrew ... Hence my interest in the book.

Could you perhaps share a few of your photos ?

Sorry, that first YUJI link seems to be dead now

... But browsing their site is informative.

I would be very surprised if this one is only 20 nanometres [although I am quite willing to be proved wrong]

But it doesn’t really matter ... even the biggest coronavirus is too small to be seen with a ‘visible light’ microscope, so your point is well made.

... and if the scan is tiff, pdf, or whatever: I can probably convert it to jpg for the forum’s benefit.

Agreed ... As I wrote originally, Google warned me that the third party wanted to access my Contacts.

On the other hand : Google must be in some way complicit.

In case it’s not obvious from my original post ...

I did NOT ‘Download with Google’

This thread is simply a warning to others

MichaelG.

Having an interest in such things ... I was delighted to see this book about Microfossils available as a free download: **LINK**

However ... I was surprised [nay, shocked] when I clicked the

Download with Google button

This invites you to sign-in with your gmail address ... and then [a couple of layers down] warns that:
