Many Ways to Picture a Cell
Flannery, Maura C.
American Biology Teacher, v67 n6 p363 Aug 2005
Some innovations in the images of cells and molecules that keep changing for new techniques and as a result of using new approaches to old methods are explored and new ways of illustrating cell and molecular structures are discussed. The three elements that play an important role in any biological image are aesthetic factors such as picture style and quality, epistemological factors like picture interpretation and artifact identification and social factors like collective decisions on goals and standard practices.
