We are now getting a combination of the high resolution MAHLI images, APXS and ChemCam compositional data and the other camera images. The image shows a close up view (about 4 cm across) of the rock Jake_ Matijevic. We can resolve grains that are tens of microns across. The surface of this rock has been eroded by the action of the wind. This is the sort of information we will need to understand other (sedimentary) rocks made of grains deposited by wind or water. Successfully targeting APXS and ChemCam at the same points allows us to combine textural with compositional studies.
