Internal Users Registration

All new users of the Image Resource Facility must register via PPMS and undergo a compulsory training session or workshop by a member of the IRF staff to ensure the trainee reaches a basic level of competency before permission is given to individuals to use our on line booking system or perform sample processing techniques.

Training and Workshops

Light microscopy training is provided as a free of charge service whilst the trainee is charged for microscope usage only. Microscope training sessions are usually 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of microscope operation or until confidence is achieved.

Histology and electron microscopy sample preparation workshops are available to researchers and students. The duration of each workshop is dependent on the complexity of the technique and charged at £25.00 per workshop. Workshops must be booked in advance by contacting the Image Resource Facility .
