My first suggestion would be the Accessible Image Sample Book created by the DIAGRAM Project:

http://diagramcenter.org/standards-and-practices/accessible-image-sample-book.html

http://diagramcenter.org/table-of-contents-2.html


Next, check out NCAM's earlier work (much of which ended up in the later DIAGRAM work):

http://ncam.wgbh.org/experience_learn/educational_media/describing-images-for-enhanced/science-diargams

Hope that helps,

Subject: [WebAIM] Alt text for the sciences

Does anyone have some well-written alt text (or long descriptions) for
science diagrams (or other STEM illustrations)? I would like to share
quality examples with our science faculty, but I'm struggling to find
anything.
