The research sought to investigate the conceptions of seventy-eight third-year high school students of public schools, aboutthe image and name of two important scientists for Biology and the implications of these related to Science, through two questionnaires, composed of two parts. Initially the first was applied, which investigated the recognition of scientists through unnamed images and a second part havingother images of scientists; however, nominated. The results showed that the use of images is still restricted in the classroom; not having been recognized in any significant way by any of the scientists, especially when the names were not mentioned. In addition, many reductionist conceptions of scientists and science have been identified.
