(If reference is made to a particular chapter, indicate chapter title, book title in italics, and page numbers). Example: J. A. Hall, Imaging tubes, Chap. 14 in The Infrared Handbook, Eds. W. W. Wolfe, G. J. Zissis, pp. 132–176, ERIM, Ann Arbor, MI (1978). Journals: Author(s) (initials, then last names), paper title, journal name in italics (use abbreviated names only for well-known journals), volume and issue numbers, page numbers, year of publishing. Example: N. Blutzer and A. S. Jensen, Current readout of infrared detectors. Opt. Eng. 26 (3), pp. 241–248 (1987).

Captions for figures and tables should be printed in the manuscript double-spaced after the list of references. Footnotes should be avoided if possible.

Pictures will be scanned for digital reproduction. Only highquality pictures can be accepted. Inscriptions and symbols should be printed inside. Negatives, slides, and transparencies are not accepted.
