Microscope Training and Session Types

For 24-hour sessions, staff load all microscopes by 9:30AM on your scheduled day of imaging. Weekend sessions are loaded on Friday evenings. During multi-user fast screening days, the morning session is loaded at 9:30AM and the afternoon user is loaded ~1:30PM.

There are 3 incremental training sessions at our cryoEM Center: Screening training, Data collection set up for SPA or CryoET, and direct alignments training. Each traning session will progress with increasing independence.

24 Hour sessions: Full day training session (9:30AM to 4:30PM). Submit a Project Proposal for full day traininng sessions here https://cryoem.hms.harvard.edu/proposal

Staff-assisted-screening sessions are fully operated by staff and intended for new users only.

Rapid/Flash access sessions are independent short screening sessions, and/or training sessions. These are offered on both Talos and Krios.

 

To request any session type, "request a training" in PPMS (see screen shot below) and choose appropriate session type.
