Welcome to the new user information section.

In order to become a trained user of one or more of our facilities, there are just a few hoops to jump through:

  1. Send us an email in advance. The contacts for each facility can be found in the Members section. Emails to the whole team are preferred (rather than to the team leader or an individual team member) This allows a shorter response time and more coherent team service for you. Your email should contain:
    • Your name, position (Masters / PhD Student, Post Doc, Technician, RGL, Professor, Director etc.) contact details, research institution and group (group leader name)
    • A short description of your project: See the list of New user project questions
  2. Based on your answers, we will work with you to identify the most appropriate imaging and image processing/analysis systems and strategies. This can be done via email, or better by a direct consultation/chat.
  3. Most of our facilities are based on a transparent recharge system, in order to cover the running costs. Therefore, administration (or in some cases we) need to know who will get recharged for the time you use on our equipment and for facility assistant's help. Two ways of recharge are possible:
    • (recommended) via a Billing Group: For this, your identity needs to be attached to the billing group of your research group leader.
      • For MPI-CBG facilities you should contact Elena Trovesi: trovesi(at)mpi-cbg.de and ask to be added to the MPI-CBG services and facilities booking system, so you can then book equipment and assistants.
      • For imaging@biotec, you have to print, sign and bring the following forms: Kostenuebernahmeerklaerung + SDP-Nutzerordnung.
    • you get a bill - please let us know to whom the bill has to go.
  4. Depending on the facility location, you also need to get an access card to enter the buildings and rooms of interest.
  5. After the administrative issues are solved: look here for New Users Procedures @MPI-CBG LMF/IPF, '''@Imaging@Biotech, '''@MTZ Imaging, '''@MPI-CBG EM
