It has been known for a long time that decomposition and polymerization processes occur as a result of irradiation of acetaldehyde. The polymerization process, diminishing in importance towards shorter wavelengths, is induced by free radicals. Iodine traps the free radicals, therefore, no polymerization is observed in the iodine-inhibited reaction . Woolgar and Allmand suggested that the polymer formed was probably paraldehyde. On account of insufficient data, a detailed discussion of the polymerization processes is not justified.

The doctrine of textualism encouraged some sociologists of scientific knowledge to identify a scientific field with its literary inscriptions . Latour and Steve Woolgar, in particular, used Derrida s view of the constitutive role of writing in the representation of facts to link the generation and acceptance of facts in science to the deployment and dissemination of inscription devices , or machines such as chart recorders, oscilloscopes, scales or even NMR spectrometers that transform pieces of matter into written documents . Tied to networks of tex-...

Even sociologists of science appear to have overlooked chemistry, with the possible exception of Bruno Latour s book laboratory life, which is based on observations made in a leading biochemical laboratory (Latour and Woolgar 1979).

Also as countless STS case studies have shown, we also need to learn to accept the subjectivity in measurement tools and instrumentation (Latour 1987 Latour and Woolgar 1986). Who builds them, how they are used and calibrated, how the data is obtained, how it is interpreted orally and in writing, and how it is read by the many audiences, all of these introduce human subjectivity in every step of the acquisition of positive knowledge. So blind commitment to this mindset leads engineers not to see those injustices that cannot be empirically measured or to ignore the subjectivities involved in measuring.

Recent studies in the field of science studies has revealed that in their praxis scientists, even pure scientists , do not encompass a positivist epistemology orfoUow aUnear sequential structure in their experiments. See for example Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar (1986), Latour (1987) and David Gooding (1990). Gooding (1990, pp. 4-8) notes that philosophers and AI researchers tend to consult only published papers or text-books and take scientists own narratives as realistic accounts. .. ignoring the extent to which scientists accounts are reconstructions rather than records hence they miss what scientist do in reality. 

Latour and Woolgar, Peter Galison, Terry. Shinn, Davis Baird all tell different stories but in each case the instrument is an agent of more than measurement.
