BASIC IMAGES | advanced images

EuroBio is an extensive collection of illustrations for use in biology teaching, produced by Steven Weinberg and his colleagues at the European School I in Luxembourg. The images do not have captions; these are in separate text files in numerous languages.

The images come in two sets: basic (70 pages suitable for GCSE) and advanced (126 pages roughly suitable for A Level).

You may download the Basic images (as PDF files) from this page -- the Advanced set is on an accompanying page.
