This guide provides an overview of access and training procedures for users of the LMCB Light Microscopy Facility while social distancing measures are in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are new to the facility, a staff member will grant you access to the Agendo booking system where you will be able to read the facility’s COVID-19 local rules in the Notes & SOP section. There are additional guidance documents for users of the UCL Super-resolution Facility, which are also in the Agendo Notes & SOP section in the Agendo booking system.
If you are a new user or if you need training on a microscope or software you haven’t used before, you should email lmcb-lm-help@ucl.ac.uk to discuss your project and to arrange training. In order to maintain social distancing we are remotely training new microscope users where possible, so it is important to try to tailor training to the user's needs. Depending on the equipment available, the trainee will normally operate the microscope while the trainer connects remotely. A member of facility staff will be in the building during the training sessions and can be contacted if a problem arises that cannot be solved remotely. Depending on your experience with microscopes you may be required to take a short online induction before hands-on training.
