Laboratory Photography: Photomicrography and More

December 2016, Routlege published my third book with them, Laboratory Photography; Photomicrography and More which is the definitive guide to the production of scientific images. Readers will find an overview of the theory and practice of laboratory photography, along with useful approaches to choosing equipment, handling samples, and working with microscopic subjects. Drawing from over 150 years of combined experience in the field, we outlined methods of properly capturing, processing and archiving the images that are essential to scientific research. Also included are chapters on applied close-up photography, artificial light photography and the optics used in today’s laboratory environment, with detailed entries on light, confocal and scanning electron microscopy. A lab manual for the digital era, this peerless reference book explains how to record visual data accurately in an industry where a photograph can serve to establish a scientific fact.



Key features include:



Over 200 full-color photographs and illustrations



A condensed history of scientific photography



Tips on using the Adobe Creative Suite for scientific applications



A cheat sheet of best practices



Methods used in computational photography
