3D-EM - user guidelines
Only registered users can have access to the facility. If you are interested in using our facility, we are happy to set up an initial meeting to discuss your project. During this meeting, a training plan will be decided upon. Registration is then to be completed on the 3D-EM Core Facility iLab site and must be approved by the PI of the user.
Access and booking
New users
Contact us to set up an initial meeting to discuss your project. During this meeting, a training plan will be decided upon. Send an email to 3d-em@cmb.ki.se. At this point, the new user must be registered in iLab (with a valid project number) to begin training. Most users will initially train on the Talos 120C TEM, followed by a test, before being trained on other equipment in the facility.
To be granted card access to the facility, the user must complete a short safety training session (10 minutes) with a facility manager.
Registration
Only registered users can have access to the facility. Registration is to be completed on the 3D-EM Core Facility's iLab site and must be approved by the PI of the user. The PI provides each user with a project number to facilitate monthly payment via iLab.
How to get access to the 3D-EM services
The first step to get access to the core facility's services is to apply for an account in the iLab booking system. This system will be used for all bookings, service requests as well as introduction/training.

How to acknowledge our facility
Please observe that the prices are subsidized for academics compared to the full costs for the collection. Therefore, you are required to acknowledge the use of the KI 3D-EM core facility with the following reference and send us a message with a link to the publication, once published, so we can list the publication on our webpage. Please also acknowledge the 3D-EM core facility for any developmental work that led to publication even if results weren’t directly included in the publication.
We reserve the right to bill the full costs for the collection if this condition is not adhered to.
