Monika Burri has selected a rich array of images, including astronomical and microphotography, laboratory situations, carefully illuminated experimental installations, and more. In her introductory essay, she investigates the intersection of photography and science as well as the changing role of ETH Zürichs Photographic Institute. (The institute, whose little-examined archive supplies many of this volumes previously unpublished images, served ETH Zürich as an independent service and research unit from 1886 until 1979.)
The third volume in Verlag Scheidegger and Spiesss Pictorial Worlds series, Science in Sight will appeal to anyone interested in the history of photography.
