Original - Red blood cells on an agar plate are used to diagnose infection. The plate on the left shows a positive staphyloccus infection. The plate on the right shows a positive streptococcus infection and with the halo effect shows specifically a beta-hemolytic group A. These infections can occur in patients undergoing chemotherapy.

A well crafted image on an encyclopedic topic. Quality images on medical topics tend to be rare at Wikipedia.
Support We have precious few quality medical photographs and this is a particularly well-lit, descriptive example. --

Weak support High enc, good looking. Not perfectly sharp in full size, but good enough considering its large size. --

Weak support. As Janke says, it might need a sharpening on the right hand side. That said, a slightly downsampled version would still convey all the essential information. Would give full support to a sharpened/downsampled version.

Weak oppose not super technical quality. Also I think the caption is confusing (not nominator's fault - came from the .gov site) - the colonies on the plate cannot be RBCs (they are non-mitotic) and I would guess they are staph colonies plated onto some sort of RBC media. Not sure what's going on scientifically here.

Oppose I honestly cannot see a "halo" on the right plate. I don't like the blurred condensation on the left plate. The image in the agar plate info box shows how plates can be more visually interesting, and I simply don't think that this a high quality, informative image. However, because this looks like it is going to pass, it needs a more explanatory caption. I think adding as a second sentence "Both plates show positive infections." would be helpful. -
