  2. Googling ‘Daston/Galison Objectivity’ reveals a huge amount of references to reviews, Internet and journal discussions, seminars’ reading etc.

  3. See for example the chapter on Scientific Visualism in Ihde D. (1998). Expanding Hermenutics: Visualism in Science. Northwestern University Press, 151–170.

  4. B. van Fraassen’s famous book The Scientific Image (1980) is devoted to theoretical aspects of observation but not to practical aspects of depicting the observed.
