Two training sessions are normally required before one can register as an independent user during normal working hours.
Other microscope-related courses are conducted on an annual basis. These include introductory courses to Light, Fluorescence and Confocal Microscopy. Further details of these courses can be obtained from the Microscopy Officer.
Only fully trained and registered, microscope users can book the instruments directly.
