Registration information
Provide as much information as you can about your samples and aims of research so that we can attend to your request in a timely manner.
On receipt of your enquiry, we will put you in contact with one of our Microscopists/Microanalysts who will organise a face-to-face meeting to discuss your needs and ensure the right techniques are used to achieve maximum results. Qualified Adelaide Microscopy staff are responsible for training all users for all instruments and laboratory procedures.
For most microscopy instrumentation, an initial training session will usually take around 1-4 hours in which your own sample is used. Prior to this session we will advise you on the most appropriate sample preparation technique. It is important that you have your samples well prepared. This can be the most time consuming and critical aspect of your microscopy as it will affect the end result. Instrument use is charged at the hourly rate depending on category.
All users are required to comply with University and local area Health, Safety and Wellbeing and must read the Adelaide Microscopy Health, Safety and Wellbeing Induction and Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) prior to accessing the Centre and equipment. Specific training courses are also offered by Adelaide Microscopy. Any visitors accompanying you are required to report to sign in the Visitors book located at Adelaide Microscopy Reception on arrival.
