About the journal
Microscopy and Microanalysis
Microscopy and Microanalysis, a peer-reviewed bimonthly, publishes original research papers in the fields of microscopy, imaging, and compositional analysis. This distinguished international forum is intended for microscopists in both biology and materials science. The journal provides significant articles that describe new and existing techniques and instrumentation, as well as the applications of these to the imaging and analysis of microstructure. Microscopy and Microanalysis also includes review articles, short communications, letters to the editor, and book reviews.
Instructions to Authors
Microscopy and Microanalysis is published bimonthly and contains papers that report original research from the entire interdisciplinary range of microscopy and microanalysis: new microscopy methods and instrumentation and their applications to biological or materials microstructures for determination of structure or chemistry. 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 biology and materials science. Communications are short (2000-2500 words) technical or scientific reports of developments in these fields. 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 for publication in the Journal. These must address a specific technical point or points in a published article and must be clearly written and concise. The corresponding author of the paper commented upon will be invited to reply. The author of the Letter to the Editor will not be sent the reply prior to publication. Both the Letter to the Editor and the Reply will be published together. No subsequent letters or replies by the same persons concerning that particular paper will be considered for publication. The appropriate Editor will make any necessary decisions concerning suitability for publication of particular Letters to the Editor or Replies.
Forma
tAll manuscripts must be: * Typed double-spaced, including title page, abstract, text, references, tables and figure legends, in 12 point type on one side of standard 8 1/2 X 11 inch white paper stock or equivalent.
* Typed with left and right margins of about 1 inch (about 2.5 cm), with about 1 inch clear at the top and bottom of each page.
* Numbered. Number all pages at the bottom.
All manuscript title pages must contain: * A complete title.
* A brief title to be used as a running head.
* Authors’ names listed by full given and last names.
* Primary institutions where the research was performed.
* Other institutions involved for each author.
* Permanent or new addresses of all authors. Note: Institutional addresses must include the full institutional and department/center name, city, state, postal code, and country.
* A complete corresponding (mailing) address for the author to whom all correspondence should be sent.
* Corresponding author’s telephone number and fax number, and e-mail address.
All manuscripts must include: * An abstract not to exceed 200 words and 6 to 10 key words for indexing.
The following sections: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Summary or Conclusions, Acknowledgments, References, tables, figure legends, figures. Sections may be subdivided to increase clarity.
Manuscript preparation
Electronic submission of manuscripts. The Journal strongly encourages authors to submit electronically prepared manuscripts in Word or WordPerfect (PC or Macintosh). Follow the instructions set forth here exactly; if, for example, the reference section is incorrectly styled, the value of the diskette submission will be reduced. A double-spaced hard copy of the manuscript must accompany the disk.
General information. Manuscripts must be submitted in English. Authors should follow generally accepted rules of grammar and punctuation. Because articles on microscopy attract broad ranges of readers with diverse backgrounds, jargon should not be used; acronyms and abbreviations must be clearly defined the first time they are used and then used consistently thereafter throughout the manuscript.
Chemical names and mathematical expressions. Chemical names and methods should be spelled out the first time they are used, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. After first mention the abbreviation may be used alone. SI units should be used. Mathematical expressions need to be carefully presented, with all symbols defined. Use a type font that clearly differentiates between zero and capital letter O. Equations containing algebraic fractions should use numerator over denominator, separated by a horizontal line, and not typed on a single line separated by a slash. Indicate vector symbols; they will be printed in bold.
References. References must be inserted in the text at the place they are used, by the author’s surname and year of publication. All references included in the reference list must be cited in the text. References to personal communications, unpublished data, and manuscripts either in preparation or submitted for publication are unacceptable. If essential, such material may be incorporated in the appropriate place in the text. For references with more than two authors use the first author’s surname followed by “et al.”; and if there is more than one reference in the same year by a single author(s), use a, b. For example: (Roberts, 1981); (Roberts & Johnson, 1983); (Jones et al., 1986); (Johnson, 1998a, 1998b).
All authors must be included in the reference list; “et al”; is unacceptable here. The alphabetical list of references begins a new page, and must be typed double-spaced. List works by different authors who are cited within the same parentheses in chronological order, beginning with the earlier work according to the CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers. Abbreviate journal names according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI). Only published articles and articles in press should appear in this list. Responsibility for the accuracy of references cited lies with the authors. Brief examples: Journal Articles TANG, P.-C., RITCHIE, W.A., WILMUT, I. & WEST, J.D. (2000). The effects of cell size and ploidy of cell allocation in mouse chimaeric blastocyts. Zygote 8, 33-43.

Tables. Tables must be typed double-spaced on separate pages after the reference section. Number tables consecutively using Arabic numbers and include concise titles and column headings. Type footnotes under the tables. All tables must be cited consecutively in the text.
Figures. Figures should be professionally drawn and photographed, and submitted in quadruplicate as black-on-white glossy prints of high quality. Original drawings or negatives should not be submitted.
Symbols, letters, numbers, and scale bars should be of sufficient size to be clearly recognizable when the figure is reduced to publication size. Each figure should have a label pasted on its back, indicating the figure number, names of authors, and top of the figure. Figure legends (figure captions) must be typed double-spaced and begin on a new page. All figures must be cited in the text. Photographs in which a human subject is identifiable must be accompanied by written permission for publication. Digitally recorded images can be provided as high contrast dye sublimation or laser prints. Figures submitted in electronic form must be accompanied by high-quality unmounted glossy prints suitable for reproduction and reduction (as needed).
Color figures. Authors are encouraged to submit color figures that provide scientific information which cannot be conveyed by black and white figures. At the Editor in Chief’s discretion, color charges may be waived for selected figures.
Permissions. All previously published material included in your manuscript must be accompanied by permission forms or letters documenting that permission has been obtained to reprint the material in your article in this journal.
Submission
Submit one original copy of your manuscript with figures suitable for publication, three copies with figures suitable for review, and documentation that you have obtained permission to reprint all previously published material to any Editor or to the Editor in Chief.
