I tried to load the image, but it came back with

        Hudson Alpha Institute for Biotechnology

I am pretty sure that ImageJ will not be redirected, as it is not a 302
redirection (HTTP level), but a HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" redirection which
would require ImageJ to _interpret_ the loaded file as HTML (which is
completely out of ImageJ's purpose).

Maybe it works if you update the URL as suggested?

Ciao,
