+:Returns one or more HTTP redirects to a target image file (JPEG) that is associated with the specified iDigBio UUID (via the relationship to a mediarecord). If multiple mediarecords are associated with a specimen record, the particular mediarecord chosen by the API is non-deterministic.  Omitting the "quality" parameter will return the full size image specified in the source data accessURI field and is usually served from the provider's infrastructure. Specifying the "quality" parameter will return a derivative image file that is hosted on iDigBio infrastructure. For many use cases, the recommended use of this endpoint would include the quality parameter. .
