Perhaps slightly off-topic, but does anyone know if the Voyagers are still transmitting images of any kind at all?

Not that there's much to photograph in their current travels, but I believe there were imagining systems beyond the normal, visible light cameras we humans are so fond of.

Thanks, all.

When looking at the Voyager website, it seems the spacecrafts are still collecting data, counting particles and such, the kind one can plot in a graph, not taking pictures. The scan platforms (which have the cameras) have been powered down, but the instruments for magnetic field, low energy charged particles, cosmic rays and plasma still operate.
