Getting started

How to get started:

To get access to the facility, contact the facility staff or request access to the facility in CFMS . The facility staff will contact you to arrange a first meeting to design and discuss an optimal approach.

What to expect:

During the first meeting, we will discuss the optimal experimental design and arrange a date for training or for measurements. Depending on the nature of the experiments, it might be better to perform the measurements yourself after following a training or to perform the measurements together with the facility staff. In case exceptional input, a novel imaging approach or instrumentation outside standard equipment is needed a scientific collaboration might be the best format. The training starts with two sessions. A first session to learn how to operate the microscope and a second session where the researcher gets hands on experience. The training is finished when the researcher can operate the instrumentation in a safe and correct way. After the training, the staff is available for additional advice, training or assistance. Manuals, SOPs and background information can be accessed on the sharepoint site after an access request. GLiM commits itself to ensure high-quality performance of the equipment by regular quality controls of the instruments. When a project is successful and results in a publication, GLiM asks to be acknowledged.
