While some textbooks still teach students that there is one scientific process that must be rigidly followed, this stagnant portrayal of the process of science can lead students to think that science and scientists are quite boring. Through integrating visual art and microscopy, students learn about the creativity of scientists and begin to appreciate the role of intuition, creativity, and culture in the science field. This article presents the photomicrographic works of art of two marine scientists, Martina Doblin and Lisa Drake, from their microscopy work. It also discusses the things that science teachers should do in teaching integrated visual art and microscopy to their students and motivating them to learn more about their microworld. By sharing the photomicrographic images created by two research scientists, students experience a realistic portrayal of creative individuals who collect and interpret evidence, communicate findings, and collaborate with each other to create consensus. Teachers can reenergize their students' interest in studying the microworld while exposing them to the nature of science, the variety of ways science can be applied, and the diversity of scientists in the workplace.
