Abstract

The central objective of biology is a complete description (of the organization) of wildlife. Basic biological discipline is the morphology that includes search and recording of information about the structure of the object, its description and preservation of the received information for further analysis. The computer revolution in the creation of live digital images of biological objects has stimulated the process of "mathematization" of biology. This has led to the emergence of a new technological paradigm in biology and revived naturalistic ethics, which allows remote (non-invasive) study of the object.
