Training
All new users receive one-on-one training.
Attending the Introduction to Light Microscopy workshop will give users a deeper understanding of light microscopy and help users to improve the quality of their data.
Users can also attend the Advanced Topics in Light Microscopy workshop, which builds on the Introduction to Light Microscopy workshop. This covers advanced brightfield and fluorescence techniques, including confocal.
Registered CAM users are able to make online bookings to use the light microscopes.
