CMF Equipment
The Central Microscopy Facility supply year round and summer investigators as well as courses with instrumentation, some owned by ϲappand some on loan, so please read through this guide to familiarize yourself with the Facility. Feel free to contact the Facility personnel for more information. Some of the CMF rooms are on the ϲappOne Card access system. You will need to get CMF authorization for your card to work on those CMF doors.
Scheduling Time and Trainings:
We use an on-line system by Stratocore for scheduling time and for setting up training sessions on individual microscopy systems. See this page for instructions.
