科学图像满足了我们观察和理解复杂现象的欲望。这些理想化的、有吸引力的人造物体可以代替信息；然而，这些图像的创造者必须平衡说服力和准确性。有些人认为这种平衡行为是科学过程的设计问题，但科学家们继续以视觉方式与同行和公众交流，并将心理模型纳入他们的工作中。作者认为，可视化的本质和局限性不仅仅是一个设计问题。可视化的生产者和消费者还必须解决科学图像在社会中的解释和传播能力。
Scientific images satisfy our desire to see and understand complex phenomena. These idealized, attractive artificial objects can stand in for information; however, the creators of these images must balance persuasion with accuracy. Some have considered this balancing act a design problem consequent to the scientific process, yet scientists continue to communicate visually to their peers and the public and to incorporate mental models into their work. The author argues that the nature and limitations of visualization are more than a matter of design. Producers and consumers of visualization must also address the interpretive and communicative power of scientific images in society.
