Here are two web sites dedicated to papyrology. The first is the
Duke papyrus archives; the second is associated with University
of Michigan:

        http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/papyrus/texts/homepage.html
        http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jmucci/papyrology/

Brown University has a page on textual criticism which contains several
such images. You can see the table of contents here:

One of their exercises involves John 1:3 - should it read OUDE hEN, or OUDEN?
They show the images of this text in various manuscripts of different types:

Alexandrian text type:

        http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/mss/tc_pap75.html

Western text type:

Byzantine text type:
