Getting trained on a microscope

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 - If necessary, we will give you permissions in the booking system to schedule a test (by us) on a specific microscope.

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

Assisted Sessions must occur within 2 weeks after training. You will have in training booking permissions and our help for the sessions.

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 experimental planning and all things related with microscopy. Feel free to contact us ( 47305), we will gladly help you with your microscopy needs and discuss your ideas.
