Part of the National Institutes of Health Web site, this section focuses on research, discoveries, and developments in biomedicine.
Viewers can choose a multimedia or text only version of the site.
Some pages use graphics as well as text to designate links. The layout of each page is similar, with a large title graphic at the top. Each page has a button menu bar at the bottom, which allows users to reach any section of the Snapshots site. Viewers can access the NIH Web site only from the home page, which alleviates any confusion in navigating. However, this portion of the site focuses on current health topics, research, and technology.
