ITG Technical Reports 

Highly detailed reports dealing with a variety of subjects, ITG Technical Reports enable users of the lab and of ITG software to get a wealth of information about a topic immediately online. (Printed versions of the Technical Reports are also available in the VMIL and Microscopy Suite paper racks, or via postal mail.) 

Technical reports may be obtained in printed form by sending an email to techreports@itg.uiuc.edu. Please include the title, number, and quantity of technical reports desired, along with your name, mailing address, and email address. Or, you can write to: Beckman ITG Technical Reports, Beckman Institute, 405 N. Mathews, Urbana, IL 61801
