科技论文的文字写作和图版制作应该相得益彰,本文根据自己的工作和整理文章的经验,介绍Excel和Photoshop软件在处理分子生物学论文图版时的一些基本原则与技巧。Excel是一种非常有效的软件,其柱状图不但可以用来有效地展示实验结果,而且可以利用不同颜色和纹理填充,来强化视觉效果,对展示结果起到画龙点睛的作用。Photoshop软件处理组织结构和免疫印迹等分子生物学论文图版时,可以通过切除、放大、对比与明暗度调节来突出主题;但是在需要比较不同突变体背景下GFP荧光和GUS染色强弱时,必须拼合成一个整体来调整。
Proper figures are beneficial to our article presentation. Basing on our knowledge and working experience, we introduced some essential skills of figure preparation in articles of molecular biology using Excel and Photoshop softwares in this article. Excel is an effective software not only for presentation of our experiment data, but also help us to make the finishing point when using different infiUing colors and textures to aggrandize visual effects in Excel histogram. When processing figures of structure and immunoblot result, it can give prominence to subject through excision, enlargement, and adjustment of contrast and brightness using Photoshop software. When the strength of GFP fluorescence and GUS staining needs to be compared in different backgrounds, it is necessary to piece and adjust figures together as a whole one.
