2. Diffraction Space: The Final Frontier
3. Molecular Replacement

Michael Carson is an innovator in the field of molecular graphics. These images were created during tests of Silicon Graphics software. "Diffraction Space" is a fantasy built from data used by scientists to study the structure of proteins. The "Earth" is data from an x-ray crystallographic experiment and the "Moon" is the hormone insulin. This image was created with the IRIS Explorer, a dataflow environment for scientific visualization. "Molecular Replacement" displays some of the geometrical aspects of molecular replacement, a technique commonly used by scientists studying molecular structure. The image was created with Inventor, an object-oriented three-dimensional graphics toolkit.
