11-24-08 All of the Confocal microscopes in the Keck Facility are now OFF of service contract. This means several things for the confocal users: 1) BE CAREFUL with the instruments! 2) REPORT any problems immediately! 3) Greg will become VERY STRICT about proper treatment of the microscopes!
Instructions are now online.
Due to increasing usage, please adhere to these Sign-up Policies:
1) Each laboratory may reserve up to 9 hours per week during normal work hours (9am - 6pm). There is no limit for additional time reserved outside of normal work hours.
2) No restriction to the length of time you may reserve for a single session.
3) Please avoid signing up for the instrument "just in case" you may need it. Repeatedly reserving the instrument and canceling at the last minute may result in your being charged for the time that the instrument was needlessly made unavailable to other users.
4) Try to avoid leaving small (< 2 hour) gaps of unreserved time during normal working hours -- it's hard for many users to take advantage of these small time slots.
Some users can get on the microscope with very little notice. If you cancel your time, please email them by clicking here. If you want to be put on the notification list, contact Greg.
If you are having trouble getting the time you need on the instrument be sure and let me know! These sign-up policies can be amended to ensure everyone has fair access.
Thanks, Greg.
Contact Greg Martin at gvm@u.washington.edu for additional information. Suggestions and comments are always welcome!
