This access is limited to internal users who have fulfilled the corresponding training (see TRAINING and BOOKING). Only users that need to use the equipment in a regular basis will be trained in the equipment at the Electron Microscopy Unit. Booking for microscopes is done via the Agendo booking system available on the ICN2 Intranet ( https://icn2.agendoscience.com; go to services, bookings, Laboratory equipment). Autousers will always need to comply with the Electron Microscopy Unit General Rules. If there is any misuse of the facilities and/or equipment, the user's rights to access the Electron Microscopy Unit will be restricted or even revoked. The usual hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 9 to 18h. During these hours the EMU support staff will provide assistance if required. When using the equipment in the evening or at weekends you are governed by the ICN2 “out of hours” working policy: users shall never work alone, a specific buddy arrangement must be made. The facilities should not be used from 22h to 8h for security reasons. Only in very exceptional cases this will be accepted, but should be agreed beforehand with the Electron Microscopy Unit staff.
