Scientific Photography

Challenge #12 in the Great Movements in Photography series. Hosted by Mark Scott Abeln.

Challenge has finished

Photography is more than just an art form; rather it also has great importance in science, industry, and government. Submit a photograph that has scientific or technological importance: consider astrophotography, photomicrography, or other photos with scientific, industrial, or technological interest. Just because a photograph has scientific interest, that does not mean that it must not be a striking and memorable image in its own right.
