The Division C Image Library will include images of pure cultures, wet mounts, and stained smears from clinical specimens.  Images of routine organisms are important but the library will also include images of unusual organisms (or combination of organisms) that may not be seen frequently.  The image library will include several slides for each organism to take into account differences in staining and/or structural features.  

Macro shots of colony morphology, hemolysis, and biochemical reactions will also be published because these are helpful for teaching purposes.  

Good-quality 2x2" slides should be submitted for publication.  The slides will be scanned and returned to you within a week or so.  Send slides and the permission form (below) to: 

Danny L. Wiedbrauk, Ph.D. 
Warde Medical Laboratory 
5025 Venture Drive 
Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108 
USA 

Individuals with slide scanning capabilities should scan the images at 640x480 dpi at a resolution of 72 dpi. Save the image as a JPG (or JPEG for Mac users) file with high resolution (resolution = 6 or 7).  Alternatively, the slides can be saved as a *.TIF (or TIFF) file.  The resulting files can be E-mailed to dwiedbrauk@wardelab.com. 

Note:  IBM-formats are preferred (sorry, Mac-users). 

The submitter will be credited with image ownership.  We consider these images to be "on loan" to ASM Division C website.  Visitors to the website may download the images and have unrestricted use of the images for research and educational purposes.  You, as the original submitter, retain all rights to the image.  Persons or organizations who wish to use these images for books, periodicals, or commercial applications must obtain your permission to use the images.
