This detailed medical illustration by the late Duncan Winter shows the advantages of a good medical illustration over a typical photograph. There are no problems with over- or under-exposure, no depth-of-field issues, and the salient features are subtly emphasized. The underside in particular is very impressive work - there's a lot going on down there and it's really tough to draw clearly.

Amazingly detailed illustrations! Personally, I think detailed illustrations are so much better than pictures, unfortunately they are no longer the norm in most scientific publications.
I have a few of Frank Netter's books, which are absolutely amazing.
I totally adore Netter. I have an anatomy atlas by him, but don't have the original books. I learned everything I know about EKGs from his volume on the heart. . .
And a perfect set of teeth, including the wisdom teeth, on the underside view. Not often you see that in real life.

Stunning. The surface forms are particularly impressive.
