Description
Science and engineering research must be communicated within the research
community and to the general public, and a crucial element of that communication is
visual. In Envisioning Science, science photographer Felice Frankel provides a guide
to creating dynamic and compelling photographs for journal submissions and
scientific presentations to funding agencies, investors, and the general public. The
book is organized from the large to small -- from photographing laboratory equipment
to capturing new material and biological structures at the microscopic level.
Full-color illustrations including many side-by-side comparisons provide an
extensive gallery of fine science photography.The book begins with a brief
historical overview in a foreword by science educator Phylis Morrison. Frankel
discusses technical issues and, just as important, her personal approach to creating
images that are both scientifically informational and accessible. This is a handbook
that should become a standard tool in all research laboratories.
