2. FORMATTING OF MANUSCRIPT COMPONENTS
2.1 Title
Center the paper title at the top of the page in 16-pt. bold. Only the first word, proper nouns, and acronyms arecapitalized. Keep titles brief and descriptive. Spell out acronyms unless they are widely known. Avoid starting witharticles or prepositions, e.g., “The study of … ,” or, “On the ….”
2.2 Author affiliations
The author list is in 12-pt. regular, centered. Omit titles and degrees such as Dr., Prof., Ph.D., etc. The list of affiliations
follows. Each author's affiliation should be clearly noted.
2.3 Section headings
Section headings are 11-pt. bold capitals, centered. Sections numbers have whole numbers, e.g., 1, 2, 3… Don't numberthe "Acknowledgements" and "References." Headings often used are: 1. Introduction, 2. Methodology, 3. Data, 4.
Results, and 5. Conclusions.
2.4 Subsection heading
Subsection headings are left-justified, 10-pt. bold. Capitalize the first word, acronyms, and proper nouns.
2.5 Paragraphs
Add a blank line above and below section headings and between paragraphs. Avoid headings or one-line paragraphs at
the top or bottom of a page by using page breaks or extra blank lines. One method to preserve page breaks is to make thebottom margin a little larger than the specifications. Indentation is optional. This spacing is automatic if you are using
the SPIE "section" styles in Word.
2.6 Text
Text is 10 point and justified. Each sentence ends with a period and a single space before the next sentence.

2.7 Figures and captions
Figures are centered. Use or insert .jpg, .tiff, or .gif illustrations instead of PowerPoint or graphic constructions.
Captions go below figures. Indent 5 spaces from left margin and justify.

Figure 1. Figure captions are indented 5 spaces and justified. If you are familiar with Word styles, you can insert a field code
called Seq figure which automatically numbers your figures.

2.8 Tables and captions
Tables are centered. The caption goes above the table. The caption text should indent 5 spaces from left margin andjustify. Table examples are on page 1 and 2 and below.

3. MULTIMEDIA FIGURES – VIDEO AND AUDIO FILESVideo and audio files can be included for publication. Table 3 lists the specifications for the mulitimedia files. Use ascreenshot or another .jpg illustration for placement in the text. Use the file name to begin the caption. The text of thecaption must end with the text "http://dx.doi.org/doi.number.goes.here" which tells the SPIE editor where to insert thehyperlink in the digital version of the manuscript.
Here is a sample illustration and caption for a multimedia file:

Video 2. A label of “Video/Audio 1, 2, …” should appear at the beginning of the caption to indicate to which multimedia
file it is linked . Include this text at the end of the caption: http://dx.doi.org/doi.number.goes.here
