EuroBio is an extensive collection of illustrations for use in biology teaching, produced by Steven Weinberg, John Watson and Cosimo de Benedictis of the European Schools. The images do not have captions; these are in separate text files. Click on the appropriate flag below to download a language version.
    
The images come in two sets: basic and advanced.
You may download the Advanced images (as PDF files) from this page -- the Basic set is on an accompanying page.
