How can we help you?

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 in Lisbon, 4533 in Oeiras), we will gladly help you with your microscopy needs and discuss your ideas.
