Images in NanoScience/Technology

Abstract

Abstract. This essay explores what it means to see and how contemporary technol-ogy is changing the tools and the methods of the way we perceive. The widespread desire for effective scientific visualization along with increasing sensitivity to popu-lar attention has created a reckless culture of image manipulation. Scientists, illustra-tors, and artists take broad license in how they manipulate images to their purpose, but few viewers are aware of or alerted to what has been changed. The resulting im-ages are often, unintentionally, more confusing and misleading than helpful.
