Forgive what may seem a silly question from one whose grasp of this type of thing is less than perfect:
What are the possibilities (not probabilities!) of MAHLI being able to detect the biosignatures for which MSL is looking as part of its mission goals? What might such biosignatures look like on a microscopic scale? I gather that, even at its highest resolution, most microfossils would at best appear only the size of a pixel or two. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. |
