I would like to hear from publishers on this, but scanning a photo will
decrease the quality of the image, not improve it. All paper-based journals
that I know of have the facility to scan photographs and their scanning regime
is controlled to inhibit aliasing between the resolution of the scan and the
dot-resolution of their final printing mechanism. Even better is to send them
(ideally) a transparency or (the next best thing) a negative.
And if you have a photo from a confocal, there is a great chance that you have
a digital file of the image already. Moving from digital (the confocal) to
analog (photo) to digital (scanning) to analog (print) is not the best way to
publish data. I even seem to remember a section in Jim Pawley's handbook on
the effect of aliasing and sampling.
