There are also images with spherical decoration, but these are further from the blade:

I'm not sure if the pictures are allowed to be posted here because of the copyright, hence only the links

Peter, unless the web site expressly prohibits the publication of pictures elsewhere, I believe the "fair use principle" allows for the copying of pictures for academic discussion, provided the original source is quoted (providing the URL link to the original should be sufficient attribution). We like to have pictures on our server because links frequently get broken and important information is lost. So please do upload the pictures here.
