[edit] User handling (on the system)
[edit] First Introduction
Usually WITHOUT own sample!!!
Estimated time: system dependent, but usually around 2hours
- Introduction to hardware: how to switch on/off.

- Data handling: explain about original file formats and metadata; advantages/disadvantages of storing data on either hard drive or fileserver
- Data safety: Point out that the Imaging facility holds no responsibility for data whatsoever!
Important: in order to keep the disk free for imaging - data stored on hard drives will be deleted on an irregular basis.
- Safety regulations: laser safety, S1 safety, correct use of wastebins.
- How to clean objectives.
[edit] Follow Up Introduction
With own sample!!!
Estimated time: strongly project dependent, but 1-2 hours are usually a good estimate
