Facility Policies

As a multi-user facility, it is imperative that all users be trained and work responsibly in the lab. Faculty are responsible for their staff, PhDs students and post-docs who use the facility and any costs incurred.

For the novice user, the Lab staff offers complete technical support, individual training and courses that cover both the practical applications and physical principles of microscopy.

Access

Instruments and staff are available during regular daytime hours. Instruments are available for use after hours by individuals that have been trained as independent users.

Scheduling

Instruments are reserved on a first come first serve rule. Users are encouraged to schedule instruments time in advance.
