Credit: Howard Lynk, Victorian Microscope SlidesA revolution in visual communication took place in the 19th century. Images — like book illustrations, panoramas and illusions — became more plentiful and popular. New technologies explored how we see, like the stereoscope, which recreates three-dimensional vision, and sights once available to only a few, like the view through a microscope or telescope, became widely available. Photography was invented in the first part of the century, then applied more to scientific subjects as time progressed, and the scientific study of the eye became important, according to Bernard Lightman, a professor of humanities at York University in Canada and author of the book Victorian Popularizers of Science (University Of Chicago Press, 2010).

14-billion-years-later: Stained EmbryosThis picture shows an array of cross sections of Drosophila melanogaster embryos that are about a millimeter in size. They’ve been stained using antibodies in order to show the various molecules which will eventually subdivide to form one of three different kinds of tissue: skin, muscle and cells of the nervous system.
