====== How can we help you?  ======
{{::get_started_info.png?800|}}

{{::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 permission 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 permission 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 1 week__ 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.

{{::image_analysis_and_processing.png?50|}} **Image Analysis** - We can help you analyze your data more efficiently by developing [[microscopytools|image analysis and processing tools]].

{{::publication.png?50|}} **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 3 months, 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 [[https://imm.medicina.ulisboa.pt/facility/bioimaging/doku.php?id=about#contacts|contact us]] ({{phone_neg.png?15}} 47305), we will gladly help you with your microscopy needs and discuss your ideas.
