Training for the independent use of instruments is available by appointment and depends upon instrument availability.  Users will be required to understand the basic operation procedures for each microscope they use, before they are allowed to book and use the system. User accounts to use microscopes and online booking will be provided upon completion of the required training. See here for more detailed policies regarding the use of our microscopes. Contact Yu Hong to arrange training.
