First contact
- Send user link to New user project questions. Ask him to send all relevant answers to lmf(at)mpi-cbg.de (it might not make sense for every user to answer every single question).
- Personal meeting with the new user and one or more members of the lmf team: discussion about imaging project and agreement on the most suitable system(s).
- Point out main contact details: lmf(at)mpi-cbg.de or lmf-helpline phone 210-2345.
Administration (no system time needed)
Booking Database
- General structure of database.
- Booking budgets, costs.
- How to book systems and assistance (combined and separately).
- How do blockings work. When do we ask them to give up their slot. Make them be aware and respect the student's system checks!
- How to use the "Report" function.
Booking Rules And Responsibilities
- Delete and Cancel: the 24h rule.
- The SIFFY (slot is free for you) procedure: how to offer and take a free slot.
- At the end of each session, check booking database: last user / not the last user --> what are the responsibilities?
- "Punishment" for having the system wrongly left on: extended booking + 15/30min assistant time
- AND: "END OF SESSION" means: data saved, sample removed, objectives cleaned, software closed ... system is free for the next user!!!
Theoretical Background (might be possible without system time)
- Background to the techniques that will be used with the system, eg. contrasting techniques, fluorescence, beampath, pinhole, detector etc.
