Anyone who has not been trained on a particular microscope or analysis computer must be directly supervised by someone who has been trained until they receive training themselves from a member of the light microscopy facility. Anyone who wishes to use a microscope without supervision must arrange to be trained by a light microscopy facility staff member first. New users must attend a compulsory 2-hour introductory training session before being given access to a microscope on the booking system. This basic training will be provided using a standard specimen provided by the light microscopy groupfacility. In addition, if you need to use advanced microscopy techniques as part of your project you must attend a compulsory supervised advanced training session in which your own specimen will be used to demonstrate the equipment and software tools necessary for your project. Even if you aren't doing anything very advanced it would be worth booking one of these sessions; especially if you're new to microscopy or unfamiliar with the instruments.
