It is a platform designed specifically to meet the needs of scientific and pedagogical communication. His AI was formed on a large body of scientific illustrations, allowing him to understand and reproduce the visual codes specific to each discipline.<\/p>\n<p>There are three types of creation available to you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scientific textual description<\/strong> : Write \u201ccross-section of a leaf with palisade and lacunae parenchyma\u201d and get an anatomically correct scheme<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transformation of photos<\/strong> : Photograph your PT material or samples to convert them into didactic diagrams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sketch improvement<\/strong> : You scan an old sketch scribbled by hand: it becomes a clean image, worthy (almost) of a manual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The strength of Illustrae? His understanding of scientific vocabulary and academic visual standards.
