Four categories of communications are published in the Journal. Regular articles contain reports of new instrumentation and new theoretical methods and their applications to microstructural analysis in biological and materials science.
Reviews have broader technical content than regular articles.
Authors contemplating review articles are encouraged to discuss their plans with the appropriate editor. Articles are accepted for publication with the understanding that they, or their substantive contents, have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication. Readers may send Letters to the Editor on any topic to the Editor for publication in the Journal. These must address a specific technical point or points in the published article and must be clearly written and concise. The corresponding author of a paper commented upon will be invited to reply.
