很多实验示意圖的问题不是“不够漂亮”，而是读者看不出样品从哪裡进、在哪一步发生反应、用什么测量、结果输出到哪裡。论文裡的 schematic 首先是方法说明，其次才是视觉包装。
這篇文章會講什麼
- How to decide whether your figure should be a schematic, workflow, or mechanism diagram.
- How to describe apparatus components without turning the image into a dense CAD drawing.
- Prompt templates for microfluidics, optical paths, and device characterization setups.
根據提示詞生成的示例圖
為什麼這張圖適合這個主題
- The generated example keeps the physical setup recognizable but simplifies it into functional blocks.
- Fluid direction, observation point, and data output are visually separated, so the reader can follow the experiment from left to right.
- Labels are short enough to remain editable later in PowerPoint, Illustrator, or SVG workflows.
提示詞應該怎麼拆
- 受眾: 先說明這張圖給誰看：審稿人、患者、學生、計畫評審，還是工程團隊。
- 核心結構: 先寫清楚分區、面板、步驟或系統模組，再談風格。
- 關係: 明確箭頭、活化、抑制、流向、空間順序或前後比較。
- 可修改性: 要求標籤清楚、留白足夠、版面方便後續修改。
可直接改寫的提示詞範本
可以把下面範本作為起點，再把方括號中的內容替換成自己的研究細節。
Microfluidic setup
Create a clean scientific schematic of a [microfluidic / reactor / sensor] setup. Show [input source], [control module], [main chip or device], [observation window], [outlet], and [data acquisition]. Use arrows for [fluid / gas / signal] direction, numbered callouts, white background, and publication-ready vector style.
Optical path schematic
Draw an optical path schematic for [experiment]. Include [light source], [filter or lens], [sample stage], [detector], and [computer]. Use straight beam paths, clear component labels, and minimal perspective. Avoid decorative lab backgrounds.
Device cross-section
Create a device schematic cross-section of [device name]. Show layers: [substrate], [active layer], [electrode], [encapsulation], and [measurement contact]. Use simple material colors, scale-neutral layout, and clear labels.

常見問題
Should I use a realistic apparatus drawing?
Only when physical placement matters. For most papers, a simplified schematic is easier to read than a realistic render.
Can AI draw exact dimensions?
Use AI for layout and communication. Exact dimensions should be added from your verified CAD, protocol, or measurement notes.
Where should this link in the site?
Use this blog to support the Schematic Diagram Generator landing page and link sideways to workflow and materials science pages.
