Scientific photography is a fundamental tool for the advancement of Science, Industry and Education. Science, in almost all its branches, advances on the basis of visual observations. Scientific photography has a double function: on the one hand to illustrate and fix those observations and on the other hand it has to be able to record numerous phenomena that are invisible to our sight, either because of their small size (microscopy), their weak light (deep sky astrophotography), their speed or extreme slowness (high speed photography and time lapse), or because our sight is blind to a type of radiation (Rx, UV, IR, thermography…). Scientific photography is not a specialty, but a set of complex photographic techniques covering more than thirty branches, twenty of which are presented here by Luis Monje, one of the few scientific photographers in the world who has devoted most of his life to study, practice and disseminate them.
