 * Most types of photographers focus on what the human eye can see, scientific photography however often uses different lenses to take pictures of things the human eye can't see.
 * Scientific photographers have a wide range of subject matter from very high-speed transitory events taking only microseconds, through to extreme close up work. they may also use remote cameras to capture the progress of explosions, or the paths of missiles.
 * Specific scientific techniques include aerial photography, close-up photography and photomicrography, high speed photography and photonics, infrared recording, micro-imaging, photofabrication, photographic visualisation, photomicrography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, stereoscopic (3D) photography, radiography and ultraviolet fluorescence.
