The Visual Core of Science: Definition and Applications to Education. Research Report
Mathewson, James H.
International Journal of Science Education, v27 n5 p529-548 Apr 2005

Based on these characteristics, the visual core of science can be described in terms of 'master images' in the content of science, and 'visual processes' in the practice of science. The resulting synoptic lists provide a basis for designing instructional and communication materials.
