Envisioning Science: The Design and Craft of the Science Image.


Science photographer Frankel details techniques for presenting compelling images in media as varied as scientific journals, presentations to funding agencies, and popular publications. Addressing scientists directly, she explains how to design and execute effective images using stereomicroscopes, compound microscopes, and scanning electron microscopes on materials big and small. Applying photography principles of light, composition, and focus, she shows how nanocrystals can be arranged in an engaging way and how reflections off a drop of black fluid can become sheer beauty. The text is highlighted by hundreds of stunning examples and detailed instructions. MIT, 2002, 328 p., color photos, hardcover, $55.00.
