Beyond Vision: One Hundred Historic Scientific Photographs

The 100 scientific photographs assembled here (over a quarter of them in full color) span the history of photography, from its origins 150 years ago to the present day, and range from the earliest collodion plates of a solar eclipse to digitally encoded photographs relayed from deep space. The author has supplied photographic and scientific details, full references and supporting pictures for each image, along with a concise history of scientific photography.
