About

SpringerImages is a growing collection of scientific images that spans the scientific, technical and medical fields, including high-quality clinical images from images.MD. The continually updated collection – currently over 1.5 million images – gathers photos, graphs, histograms, figures, and tables, and is available to libraries and their patrons via a searchable online database. The SpringerImages interface enables users to search faster, more broadly and more accurately, through captions, keywords, context and more, even jumping from the image to the source article. Users can create personalized image “sets,” and can easily export images for use in their own presentations or lectures.

How does the SpringerImages search determine my results?
SpringerImages was designed to reach deep into content and return a highly specific set of results. Unique to SpringerImages, users not only search the caption of the images but also search sentences from the full text which refer to the image. By coupling this targeted search with a selective advanced search mechanism, users receive a refined results list that delivers only the images pertinent to each individual query.

Who is the copyright owner for each image on SpringerImages?
The copyright holder for each image is listed at the bottom of the Image Details Page. Springer only distributes content it legally owns or for which it has been granted distribution rights. If you have a concern regarding the copyright of an image, please use the "Report copyright" link at the bottom of each image details page.

Who can use SpringerImages.com and how can images be used?
Anyone can create an account and search the free and Open Access images indexed by SpringerImages. Access to the complete collection is available via subscription to libraries, research institutions and individuals. Images obtained from SpringerImages can be used for almost all noncommercial purposes, including integration into presentations and PDF documents.
