<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<br><br>As Sam mentioned in his email last week, the Imaging facility Equipment <div>will be bookable via a new calendaring system from March 3rd. <div>This means that from Monday onwards, all instrument bookings must be </div>
<div>made using the new system. You will need your normal (lifesci) login to </div><div>access the calendar:-<br> <a href="https://bumblebee.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/bumblebee/">https://bumblebee.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/bumblebee/</a><br>
<br>There are links to this page from the CAST Light and Electron<br>Microscopy Equipment page. We have also provided an overview and how to guide:-<br> <a href="http://www.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/cast/light-and-electron-microscopy/equipment">http://www.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/cast/light-and-electron-microscopy/equipment</a><br>
<a href="http://www.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/cast/light-and-electron-microscopy/booking-equipment">http://www.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/cast/light-and-electron-microscopy/booking-equipment</a><br><br>On the equipment page linked above, you can also find an Equipment Status </div>
<div>Table, which includes information on any known faults affecting the microscopes. </div><div>This is updated within half an hour of a fault being reported or a microscope </div><div>being repaired. The table will be updated to link to instrument configuration<br>
information in the near future.<br><br>Thank you to those of you who have already returned registration / laser safety</div><div>forms. By the end of the week you will be able to book microscopes on the new </div><div>calendar. We will transfer existing bookings up to and including the 14th of March<br>
from the old system to the new one.<br><br>We would be grateful if you could take a moment to remind yourselves of the </div><div>booking rules and etiquette:<br><br>Booking Rules<br>=============<br><br>1. On most instruments you can book up to 2 weeks in advance. The exception </div>
<div>is the CLSM/MPLSM on the 2nd floor which can be booked further in advance </div><div>for mouse work.</div><div><br>2.You must not book more than 2 week days per week (i.e. Monday to Friday) </div><div>or 2 microscopes simultaneously (Monday to Friday) without permission.</div>
<div><br>3. Bookings can be cancelled at 1 hour's notice. Be considerate to your </div><div>colleagues and do not make speculative bookings – under the new calendar we </div><div>will be able to review cancellations, so it will be obvious if anyone is doing this.<br>
<br>4. Our aim is to strike a balance between providing fair access to all of you</div><div>whilst supporting complex or non-standard experiments. If you have any </div><div>questions or special requirements, please contact a member of the facility </div>
<div>staff so that we can help you.<br><br>---<br><br><br>Best Regards,<br><br>Graeme<br><br>---<br>---------------------------<br>Dr. Graeme Ball<br>Image Analyst<br>Light Microscopy Facility<br>College Of Life Sciences<br>
