During the PhD practical courses, many groups need to use LMF microscope systems as part of the teaching. Our experience tells us that this needs to be arranged in a systematic and functional way:
- You must give LMF at least 2 weeks notice when requesting a slot for teaching on a microscope system.
- We will not push other user off their booked slots because a teacher was not organized enough to have us reserve the microscope well in advance.
- The person who will be teaching the students at the microscope must be a trained user of that microscope system
- As a teacher, dont expect to get last minute training on an LMF system then be responsible for showing students experiments on that system. Negative experiences of this approach show us that its not a good plan.
- Untrained PhD students should not be left unsupervised, lest their intelligence and creativity get the better of them.
- The trained teacher should be present at all times that a student is present at the microscope system.
