  1. Images for teachers and students of science, history and art Wellcome Images is the world’s leading source of free images on the history of medicine, contemporary healthcare, social history, and biomedical science. We have worked closely with teachers to curate image galleries specially designed to support the secondary curriculum. Use these galleries to quickly find high-quality images on themes such as pathogens and disease, the history of surgery, portraiture and book design. All our images are available online and are free to download and use for educational purposes. To see the galleries, go to: wellcomeimages.org Thanks to teachers at Camden School for Girls, Maria Fidelis School, Forest School and Central Foundation Girls’ School. A wealth of free images to use in the classroom

  2. Images for science teachers and students Wellcome Images contains thousands of photographs and illustrations of biological processes such as cell division, and structures including bacteria and DNA. You can also find examples of the imaging techniques scientists use to record what they’re studying, including microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging and computerised tomography scans. As well as being an excellent resource for the classroom, Wellcome Images is a rich and intriguing collection for independent research projects.
