Image Dissection in Natural Scientific Inquiry

Karin Knorr-Cetina

Images are objects of work in the laboratory. On its face, this work is achieved through talk Yet the talk attached to these images makes reference to other images, which are drawn from varcous environments. In this article, four such environments are identified: the domain of laboratory practice; the context of invisible physical reactions; the future image as it will appear in publication; and the domain of case precedents and reference scenarios from the field. The work of image analysis brings the outside of the image into it and takes the inside out. Thus it can be seen that images are not just taken, they are designed and made.
