Abstract
The article discusses the importance of scientific illustration, particularly in biological research. The authors dwell on the quality criteria for scientific illustration, highlight the peculiarities of drawing microscopic objects, and give practical recommendations for drawing of biological objects. The necessity of introducing courses on scientific illustration in the educational programs of Russian universities is noted.
