====== Getting trained on a microscope ======
{{::get_started_info.png?700|}}

{{::consultation.png?50|}} **Consultation** - The first step is to meet us (in person or by Zoom) to discuss your needs and determine the most appropriate microscope.

{{::test_first.png?50|}} **Test First** - If necessary, we will give you permissions in the booking system to schedule a test (by us) on a specific microscope.

{{::we_aqcuire.png?50|}} **We Acquire** - If you only need a few images, we will give you booking permissions and do the acquisition for you, no training required.

{{::training.png?50|}} **Training** is __mandatory__ for independent use, even if you have already used the microscope elsewhere. We book the training session.

{{::assisted_sessions.png?50|}} **Assisted Use** __must occur within 2 weeks__ after training. You will have //in training// booking permissions and our help during the sessions.
 
{{::independence.png?50|}} **Independence** - Once you are comfortable with using the microscope on your own, you will be given //regular user// privileges.

**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 2 weeks after training, you will have to be trained again
  * If you do not use a microscope for more than 3 months, we may contact you to assess the need for re-training

  * We are always available for consultations and advice on all things related with microscopy. Feel free to [[imm-bioimaging@medicina.ulisboa.pt|contact us]] ({{phone_neg.png?15}} 47305), we will gladly help you with your microscopy needs and discuss your ideas.
