Kuhn and Galison:

"For Galison the process of scientific discovery is driven by new tools, for Kuhn by new concepts. Both pictures are true and neither is complete. The progress of science requires both new concepts and new tools. The difference between Galison and Kuhn is largely a difference of emphasis."

"Kuhn wrote about the battles between rival concepts, and some of his readers were left with the impression that science is largely a subjective affair, a struggle between conflicting human viewpoints, rather than an objective struggle between the precision of tools and the ambiguities of nature. Kuhn saw science from the point of view of an theoretical physicist, taking the experimental data for granted and describing the great leaps of theoretical imagination that enable us to understand it. Galison sees science from the point of view of an experimental physicist, describing the great leaps of practical ingenuity and organization that enable us to acquire new data. Although I am an theorist, I happen to find Galison's view of science more congenial. Most theoretical physicists have an opposite bias, having more respect for philosophy and less respect for gadgetry."
