Figures should be saved in a neutral data format such as TIFF or EPS, and a printout should always be included. Powerpoint and Word graphics are unsuitable for reproduction. Please do not use any pixel-oriented programmes. Please submit the data for figures in black and white. However, colour photos can be reproduced in black and white, with a possible loss of contrast.
Figures printed in colour are subject to an added charge.
There is a charge for alterations to figures when carried out by the publisher. Please note that figures will generally be reduced to fit within the column-width or the print area. If a figure is to be cropped, please mark the lines on a photocopy or tracing paper. Do not forget the labels and units. Legends for the figures should give a precise description of the content and should not be repeated within the figure.
