Thanks for posting the list. 

I was a bit intrigued by   The Power of Images in Early Modern Sciences (ISBN: 9783764324346)
W. Lefevre, J. Renn, Schoepflin. U.  Birkhäuser, 2003. Kartoniert/Broschiert.  320pp. English.

The book is dedicated to the role of visual representations in the early modern period. It brings together historical case studies from various fields and discusses epistemological questions such as the role of images as mediatory instances between practical and theoretical knowledge, the interaction between images and texts, and the potential of images to synthesize fragments of knowledge to a global picture.

TOC:The Challenging Images of Artillery: Practical Knowledge at the Roots of the Scientific Revolution.- Ships, Science and the Three Traditions of Early Modern Design.- Art and Artifice in the Depiction of Renaissance Machines.- The Limits of Pictures: Cognitive Functions of Images in Practical Mechanics - 1400 to 1600.- Reframing the Language of Inventions: The First Theatre of Machines.- Alchemical Iconography at the Dawn of the Modern Age: The Splendor solis of Salomon Trismosin.- The Invention of Atomist Iconography.- Image and Text in Natural History, 1500 - 1700.- Notes on the Function of Early Zoological Imagery.- Elephant, Mammoth, Unicorn, or What: Notes on the Interrelations of Pictures and Texts in Leibniz.- Planetary Diagrams - Descriptions, Models, Theories: From Carolingian Deployments to Copernican Debates.- Images, Models and Symbols in Copernican Propaganda.- Edmond Halley and Visual Representation in Natural Philosophy.- Encyclopedias and Architecture in the Sixteenth Century.

It is an extremely expensive paperback book. I could find no copies under £100 ($200). Sadly, Glasgow University Library, which I visit often, does not hold a copy.

COPAC is your friend (http://copac.ac.uk/). There are a number of UK libraries (BL, Durham, Leeds, etc) that have it, so Glasgow should be able to get it on ILL. If you just wanted the signle article, then you could try the Wellcome.
