A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging/diverging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging or converging rays. In other words, a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object.
Image from Andreas Vesalius's De humani corporis fabrica (1543), page 206. Historically, biological illustrations have been in use since the beginning of man's exploration and attempts to understand the world around him. The paleolithic cave paintings were so detailed that we can even recognize species and breeds of many of the depicted animals ...
Non-contact thermography, is the field of thermography that derives diagnostic indications from infrared images of the human body. Nuclear medicine, uses administered radioactive substances to create images of internal organs and their function. Optical imaging, using light as an investigational tool for biological research and medical diagnosis

Series of density maps for GroEL: from left to right, 4 Å, 8 Å, 16 Å, and 32 Å resolution.The details are smeared away as the resolution becomes lower. Resolution in the context of structural biology is the ability to distinguish the presence or absence of atoms or groups of atoms in a biomolecular structure.
The mythology of Ardhanarishvara – which mainly originates in the Puranic canons – was developed later to explain existent images of the deity that had emerged in the Kushan era. [11] [20] [45] The unnamed half-female form of Shiva is also alluded to in the epic Mahabharata. In Book XIII, Upamanyu praises Shiva rhetorically asking if there ...
Photobiology is the scientific study of the beneficial and harmful interactions of light (technically, non-ionizing radiation) in living organisms. [1] The field includes the study of photophysics, photochemistry, photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, visual processing, circadian rhythms, photomovement, bioluminescence, and ultraviolet radiation effects.
