Illustrations (line drawings and halftones) - either single or mounted in the form of plates on a thin, flexible paper, can be 85 mm, 125 mm, or 175 mm wide and cannot exceed the size of 175 x 250 mm. The authors are requested to plan their illustrations in such a way that the printed area is economically used. Numbers, inscriptions and abbreviations on the figures (instant lettering recommended) must be about 3 mm high. In case of micrographs, magnification (e.g. X 65 000) should be given in the legend. Calibration bars can also be used. Illustrations in the electronic form (on CDs) are also accepted, preferably in .ps or .tif formats, otherwise please specify the software used. Color illustrations can be published only at author's cost and the cost estimate will be sent to the author after submission of the manuscript.
