DIVE

Please read!

If you select one of the specialist lenses in Agendo, or require incubation or CO2, then you must book the microscope in working hours (0900 - 1700) and leave a 30-minute gap before and after your session so facility staff can be available to swap the necessary equipment. Facility staff will receive an email when you book the machine and will be alerted to your requirement.
