1. Our systems are available to GIMM researchers and external users. Check our systems hourly fees.
2. You need to use iMM's booking system (Agendo) to book our equipment.
3. Contact us for a Consultation session by email, phone ( 47305) or using Agendo.
4. We will reply to you as soon as possible to schedule a meeting, to discuss experimental strategies and decide the most appropriate Equipment.
5. After a Consultation we will give you in training permission to book a system for a Test or Assisted Acquisition.
6. Depending on your needs and usage frequency, you may be eligible for Training on a particular system, for Independent Usage (check details below).
7. Don't forget to check our Usage and Booking Rules.

Consultation - The first step is to meet us to discuss your needs and determine the most appropriate microscope.

Test First - If necessary, we will give you permission in the booking system to schedule a test (with us) to decide the appropriate system.

Assisted Acquisition - We will give you in training access and assist you with data acquisition, no training required.

If you use a microscope system regularly, we can train you to become fully independent:

Training is mandatory for independent use, even if you have already used the microscope elsewhere. We book the training session.

Assisted Use must occur within 1 week after training. We will help you during acquisition.

Independence - Once you are comfortable with using the microscope on your own, you will be given regular user privileges.

Image Analysis - We can help you analyze your data more efficiently by developing image analysis and processing tools.

Publication - We can also help you writing materials and methods and preparing figures for a manuscript with microscopy data.

Please Note

• After you are a fully independent user, you can request technical assistance when necessary (e.g. for troubleshooting, new settings, etc.)
• If you do not book a microscope for assisted sessions within 1 week after training, you may need to be trained again
• If you do not use a microscope for more than 1 month, we may contact you to assess the need for re-training
• If you misuse a microscope or fail to follow turn on/off procedures, you will be re-trained and go back to Assisted Use

• We are always available for consultations and advice on all things related to microscopy. Feel free to contact us ( 47305), we will gladly help you with your microscopy needs and discuss your ideas.
