"Not only is the objectivity of scientific images... challenged, but the accounts here of technical histories, evaluation practices, iconographical traditions, and modes of perception make even clearer the constructive character of the images. For all that such images are expected to be self-evident and to follow rules of repetition and verifiability, like experiments, it is nevertheless-or, even better, therefore-the case that manipulated images often generate better scientific results in the eyes of the scientists.... The volume deserves to be treated as an indispensable research tool." (British Journal for the History of Science)
