Each person can only book one session (NS or Cryo) at a time during regular business hours (Mo-Fr 8:30-18:30). Bookings have to be made according to the following schedule:

JEOL 1400

• 8:30-11:30 Cryo (can start earlier)
• 11:30-13:00 NS/Cryo
• 13:00-14:00 4×15 minutes of quick access (see point 4)
• 14:00-15:30 NS/Cryo
• 15:30-18:30 Cryo (can finish later)

JEOL 1400 plus

• 8:30-11:30 Cryo (can start earlier)
• 12:00-15:00 Cryo
• 15:30-18:30 Cryo (can finish later)

 Only book the amount of time that you need as you will be charged either the booked time or the used time (whatever is the longest). I.e. If you only need one hour, only book one hour.

Additionally you can book microscope time outside of the regular business hours and on weekends, which can be booked in addition to rule 1. Users need to be proficient at the usage of the microscope and need a one time (but retractable) certification from the facility staff.

Quick Access: For screening purposes we provide 4x 15 minutes slots between 13:00-14:00 o’clock on the JEOL 1400. This is meant to quickly check one sample for later work. These booking can be done in addition to rule 1.

If on the day itself (starting midnight) there is an unoccupied session, users are allowed to book a session in addition to rule 1. Slots are first-come-first-served and have to follow the existing time slots. Quick Access slots need to stay available until 13:00 o’clock.

 Every session needs to be booked via the online calendar, even those outside of regular business hours.

Using the logbook. Users have to sign the logbook the moment they start to confirm that the microscope and the holder are functional. Upon signing out users confirm the good state of the microscope. Any damage should be brought immediately to the attention of the facility staff.

If you need any exception to above rules you can contact the facility manager and try to convince him of your need.

 Rules are subject to change.
