Short summary
The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) has acquired images to support science and science-enabling activities in Gale crater. MAHLI's combination of fine-scale resolution, RGB color, ability to focus over a large range of distances, and relatively large field of view, have been ideal for deriving maximum science from the mission. Imaging fully illuminated, dust-free targets yields the best results, with complementary information obtained from shadowed images.
