A thumbnail image of the photomicrogaph and drawing which are linked to their respective detail pages, the Common Name, Field Characters and Validation Characters.
A Glossary is provided, and can be accessed from the menu on the left. Here you will find definitions of various terms, and links to specific details. The labels on drawings are linked to this glossary as well.

Please Note: Pages which have links to images, will open in the same window as this text, and you can return by clicking on the "Go Back" button. A reference link such as: author, citation, region, or genus may take you out of the site, i.e., to ScaleNet, and will open a new browser window. You will have to close that window to return to the page you were previously on.

When Running The Key: If you choose from one of the pop up menus from the Entities column, Lucid uses the same html pages as the rest of the site, and the back button will only work if you have chosen the General Information page first, then clicked on one of the images for more details. Then the back button will take you back to the General Information page. The back buttons do not work other than this, because you are viewing a page that has been opened on top of the key and you are back as far as you can go. You must close this page (window) to get back to the key.
