Training for researchers

• During our initial discussion, you will receive invaluable advice on experimental and sample design. Together, we will decide which system is best suited for your project.
• You will get a thorough one-to-one training with your own sample. Our aim is that, at the end of training, you have acquired a solid theoretical and practical knowledge of the machine, the software, the sample, the experimental design and the requirements for reliable and reproducible image analysis. Our training has clearly defined Learning Objectives.
• After you have been trained, you will receive continuous support and guidance, refresher sessions if you have forgotten anything and new expert discussions when your project evolves.
• You will receive professional help to build your image analysis pipeline.
• If your lab has a microscope similar to ours, you are welcome to request a training to increase your expertise, even if you do not plan on using our equipment. 

Access to the equipment

• You will have a 24/7 access to the equipment you where trained on. Our training often gives access to several very similar systems, allowing flexibility.
• You will have access to our remote servers with many software for image analysis and our OMERO data management system.

Train-the-trainer program

• Staff working at other core facilities are welcome to join our job-shadowing program. They will get the opportunity to follow our user training and discuss pedagogical methods to improve the design of their own end-user training.

Imaging by staff

• If you do not want to be trained but need microscopy images, you are welcome to contact us for the "Imaging by staff" service . You will sit next to us and we will acquire the images you need. The fee for this service is here.

• Regardless of whether you are an LCI member or not, you are always welcome to join the LCI yearly microscopy course, request consultation or imaging -by -staff service.
