Images play a significant role in the development of nanotechnology, from
straightforward schematics to reckless speculation, these images help us
better understand the nanoscale. A collection of specialized devices
visually confirm theories, support and enhance grant applications,
captivate eager observers, and mislead the public. This talk will show some
of the latest and most pervasive images and animations and suggest possible
strategies for a common vocabulary and accurate and meaningful image
enhancement. It will also suggest possible long term changes in how we
depend upon and use our vision and senses for confirmation.
