ABSTRACT

For those who look through a transmission electron microscope, the displayed object is placed at the ultrastructural level; thus, it is important to possess the ability and sensitivity to achieve a micrograph that subsequently illustrates the morphological findings relevant for the benefit of research or diagnosis of the patient. If this can also reflect the beauty and harmony that are located within the cellular environment, then one finds an image that excels esthetically. This is the manner in which each micrograph can have two complementary purposes: the scientific and the esthetic. A graphic arts professional who is required to achieve some micrographs, perceives in them features, textures, shapes, etcetera. According to the professional’s creativity, this will lead him to compose a different visual language, generating digital graphics with order, symmetry, and color. Those who contemplate these images have different ways of perceiving and interpreting them; referring to a small fragment of the poem «Evocation of forms»: «What a strange evocation of the forms. Curious is the man when he looks and interprets, in a very different way, sometimes, the same things» (J. Manuel Saiz). «From micrographs to generative art»: a cultural-scientific exhibition is organized by two professionals belonging to the National Institute of Rehabilitation (INR) who develop both in the scientific field and in the art of design, and who have proposed a new approach to the fusion of science and art. They show two groups of images organized in pairs: a) scientific images obtained with a transmission electron microscope, named micrographs, previously used for diagnostic purposes, and b) digitally- generated images based on their corresponding micrographs, transforming the meaning and scientific language into, now, a visual language.
