... for microscope imaging. To identify a rock using the traditional method of optical mineralogy it must be sliced and polished to a thickness of thirty microns (0.03 mm). At this thickness it becomes translucent and its index of refraction can be measured by the interference pattern of polarized light shone...

... events were the invisible ones that required lenses or other devices in order to be observed. These microscopic and submicroscopic processes were usually photographed or recorded so as to produce a visual document. I came to understand in a hands-on way the importance of images to the interpretation...

... that allowed the seventeenth century to design telescopes and microscopes: their parabolic mirrors focus incident light in exactly the same way as lenses or glasses act on transmitted light. Searchlights, however, also render light available for tactical purposes. Despite the many metaphors at play...

... an important example of the ways pixelation functions as a visible signifier of a dangerous truth while blurring, erasing, and ultimately dehumanizing those “speaking” this truth. The discussion forms part of a larger analysis of the production, framing, and circulation of images of otherness, identifying...

.... Lungs, skin, streets, and atmospheric particulates manifest its transformative presence, as do electron microscopes, CT scanners, thermal guns, and satellite images. Medical illustrators wield 3D modeling software to style a COVID-19 “avatar” that will facilitate its public recognition. Maps, network...

... further questions surrounding the material politics of pollution. It must, however, be noted that not all biotic actors are negatively affected by oceanic plastics. Certain forms of bacteria have evolved to reside within marine plastics ( Reisser et al. 2014 ), forming a microscopic ecosystem that has...
