If you have card access to the building, then you can use the card to enter but be aware that if you had access before UCL closed the lockdowns then you might not have it now. If you want to arrange card access, then please email the facility manager (andrew.vaughan@uclvaughan@ucl.ac.uk).
Once you are in the LMCB you must hold your QR code up to the scanner at reception to register that you have entered. The picture below shows the QR scanner with the red arrow indicating the camera. You must hold the QR code 20 to 30 cm from the camera. The first time you do this you will have to press a button on the screen, but all subsequent uses are contactless.
Training
On your first visit to the facility a member of staff will be available to help with any problems. This will probably be remote help, but there is always a member of facility staff in the building if required. 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.
