Science in Sight: Scientific Photography from ETH Bibliothek's Image Archive: Scientific Photographs from the Image Archive, Eth Bibliothek Volume 3 ... from the Image Archive, Eth-Bibliothek) - Hardcover
Since its early days, photography has been both a tool of and subject for scientific research. Developments in photochemistry, camera construction and lense refinement made photography an extremely successful mass medium. At the same time, photography served scientific research as a key medium for observation, documentation, education and communication. ETH-Bibliothek, the main library at ETH Zurich, is holding in its Image Archive vast collections of photographs. Among them is the complete collection of the university's own Photographic Institute, an independent service and research unit between 1886 and 1979. This new book documents both the main aspects of scientific photography, illustrating the research of many disciplines while being the subject of basic research itself. Using a rich selection of images, ranging from astronomical and micro-photography, to laboratory situations and carefully illuminated experimental installations. The introductory essay investigates the interplay between photography and the world of science, and tells the story and changing role of the Photographic Institute.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Seit ihren Anfängen ist die Fotografie sowohl Instrument wie Gegenstand von Wissenschaft und Forschung gewesen. Entwicklungen in Fotochemie, Optik und Kamerabau machten die Fototechnik zum erfolgreichen Massenmedium. Gleichzeitig diente die Fotografie der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisproduktion als Medium der Beobachtung, Dokumentation und Vermittlung.Das Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek besitzt umfangreiche wissenschaftliche Fotobestände, unter anderem den bisher kaum erforschten Bildnachlass des 1886 gegründeten Photographischen Instituts der ETH Zürich. Der vorliegende Band beleuchtet die wissenschaftliche Fotografie im Spannungsfeld von praktischer Dienstleistung und theoretischer Grundlagenforschung. Von Astro- und Mikrofotografien über Laboraufnahmen bis hin zu präzis ausgeleuchteten Versuchsanordnungen dokumentiert der Bildband ein breites Spektrum wissenschaftlicher Fotografie-Anwendungen. Ein Essay zur Wechselbeziehung von Fotografie und Forschungskosmos ergänzt die faszinierende Bildauswahl. Seller Inventory # 9783858813954
