NASA keeps on concealing micrographs of Mars Lander Phoenix

Fig. 1 below shows micrographs taken by Phoenix without comparative
micrographs ( Note 1). NASA thinks only it can, or has the right to,
interpret the micrographs before anyone else does. In fact, NASA has
not interpreted micrographs taken by Phoenix. (NASA interpreted first
few micrographs incorrectly, then stopped interpretation.)

Note 1:
There is an optical microscope on board Phoenix. The microscope has 60
substrates , which, believe it or not, contain Earthly fossils. When
Martian soil is sprinkled onto these substrates, Martian fossils will
mix with Earthly fossils. So, NASA took micrographs of every substrate
before and after Mars soil was sprinkled onto the substrates. NASA has
not released most of the micrographs of the original substrates
(images showing substrates “before” sprinkling).
