Guidelines for report preparations[1] Form 1+ If you continue the use of electron microscopes in the coming academic year, you should complete “Form 1”.
Note that the template of “Form 1” has been slightly changed from the previous one.
---- Remarks about Form 1 ---(1) Use of budgets: In the first page of Form 1, you can indicate up to 3 budgets to pay the usage fee ofelectron microscopes. When the submission of Form 1 indicates only 1 budget (or 2 budgets), you canregister additional budget(s) later, if it is needed.
(2) Payment for the use in March: Using external funds (i.e., KAKENHI and others) is not valid for thepayment in March, because of administrative reasons. For the payment in March, please use“Management Expense Grants” or “Donated Funds of the next year”.
+ If you plan to use JEM-1300NEF, please also submit an Experimental plan at X-ray generator.
[2] Form2+ For the list of publications, collect papers published in 2023 (from January 2023 to December 2023).

+ Author consent must be obtained when quoting papers in Annual Reports of the URC in other academic journals.

+ There are cases where the content published in Annual Reports of the URC is regarded as material already reported
by other academic journals, and thus we would like everyone to be careful to ensure there is no double submission.
