Booking

Equipment of the LCAM-FNWI can only be booked by trained users that have followed the intake procedure and trainings (see New users). The booking scheme is displayed in webcalenders, each specific for one instrument. This reservation system allows us to stay in touch with all our users and to notify you in case of problems or new installations. Please do not forget to contact us when you want to cancel a reservation.

How to sign-up a microscope:
Go to the webcalender of your preferred microscope to validate if there is time available for your experiment. For reservation of the microscope send an email to cam.microscopy@gmail.com. Typically at the Thursday in the week before, your microscope booking will be added by our technician Ronald Breedijk and announced via the webcalenders below. In case you decide last-minute that you would like to have a microscopy session and your favourite microscope has not been booked contact Ronald Breedijk (R.M.P.Breedijk@uva.nl) personally. However this last-minute option is not the standard method of booking.

First time users should contact cam.microscopy@gmail.com to discuss the new project and select the most appropriate microscope (see New users section). After passing the online microscopy pre-course, LCAM Confocal Training Day (CTD) & online exam, a personal training session will be arranged at the specific microscope since only trained users are allowed to work with the LCAM microscopes.
