We actively encourage our users to become familiar with our instruments so that they can operate them without supervision. We are always on hand and willing to offer unlimited advice and support!
Our formal courses in transmission electron microscopy and advanced light microscopy provide a solid foundation, but we do not expect users to become fully comfortable with our systems simply by attending these courses.
We offer 1-to-1 and small group training on each of our instruments to facilitate independent use.
1 day confocal microscopy masterclass
This masterclasses will help to further develop skills and understanding of our Leica SP5 and SP8 systems. Please email Dave Johnston to book.
Individual advice and tuition in 2D and 3D image processing and analysis
We can demonstrate a variety of software packages. Please email David Chatelet to book.
We also provide on-request training for instruments not yet covered by formal courses:
- scanning electron microscopes
- 3view system
- light sheet
- dotSlide
- high throughput slide scanner
Additional courses are in development.
We encourage users to discuss their imaging needs with us before setting up experiments, so we can advise on the best methods to use with our instruments and also on imaging and analysis methods. The kettle is always on!
All training and advice (apart from our formal courses) are provided free of charge to University and UHS personnel.
To enquire about a place on any of our courses or to arrange 1-to-1 tuition, please email Patricia Goggin.
