Before gaining access to any equipment in the Electron Microscopy Laboratory, potential users must complete training and be qualified for that specific tool. Users should have a UNI and Badger account from the outset, as training time will be billed to the trainee's group.

Badger account information can be found here: Badger Instructions.

1. Official training on the TEM is conducted exclusively by staff or superusers. The training request form is available here: Electron Microscopy Access.

2. Training on other systems in the EM lab, including the Zeiss SEM or the Nova Nano SEM (inside the cleanroom) may be conducted by superusers or an experienced, certified user from the same research group.

3. Certification for all tools can only be completed by superusers or staff.
