4 Manuscript form

4.1 Body text

Please type the text as a continious block, i.e. not interrupted by tables and figures. Paragraphs should be well propotioned.

4.2 Figures

Indicate these with "Fig." and enclose them with your manuscript text. Limit the number of your figures to those absolutely essential. Preferred are high contrast, glossy photos (b/w or colour, if possible from 8x10 cm_ in size). Slides only be submitted if no other alternative is available. Indicate the number of the figure on a sticker on the back of your photos. For micrographs, include a bar with the unit of measure and specification of scale in the photo.
You may also store/send your figures electronically (diskette, CD-ROM, email). Please consult the editorial department in this case.
Colour reproduction of your figures cannot always be guaranteed. If you have prepared graphs, etc., use graphic devices (dashes/dotted lines, tec.) rather than colours to indicate differences. Graphics are often scaled down for publication, therefor make sure any lettering will still be readable - capital letters should be at least 1.75 mm high when reduced. Enclose units of measure in square brackets.

4.3 Tables

Use arabic numerals to label tables (Table 1) and enclose these with your manuscript and diskette.

4.4 Captions

List the captions for both figures and tables at the end of the body text.

4.5 Units
