Envisioning Science : The Design and Craft of the Science Image Paperback / softback

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.
