Each table should have a title and be numbered in the order of appearance in the text. Use superscript letters to indicate footnotes typed at the bottom of the table. Four complete sets of glossy photographs of all figures including graphs, black and white light and electron micrographs and color photographs, must be submitted. All figures should be clearly labeled on the back.
Authors are responsible for the cost of color pages.
Legends should state degree of magnification or scale bars should be used on the photograph. Graphs must be of professional quality. Computer-generated graphs should be of laser quality. High contrast prints for roentgenographic photographs and electron micrographs are essential. Clear photocopies of the figures should be included with the original and each copy of the manuscript.
