Introduction and Booking

The microscopy core facility booking page is located: uol.openiris.io/

After registering, you will be permitted to send training requests via this platform. After an introduction, laser safety, and instrument training, you will be able to file bookings via this platform.

Depending on the personal availability and the instrument training that you have requested you will be contacted by Dr. Petra Bolte or Dr. Levent Gütay

Safety Instructions

Laser safety instruction:

Each new user has to attend a short laser safety introduction by a laser safety officer (currently both Dr. Petra Bolte and Dr. Levent Gütay). Please note that the laser safety instruction should be repeated every year, similar to the general lab safety instructions. (Note: currently we are working on a down-classification for the lasers, new information will be sent to users soon)

S2 safety instruction:

Users of the Olympus FV3000 (with Picoquant FLIM system) need a S2 safety instruction before being allowed to enter the lab in W34. This instruction needs to be refreshed annually. Please find the next possible dates here: https://uol.de/anatomie/termine . For queries and requests about S2 instructions please contact Dr. Nicola Brandt.

Further General Info

For general inquiries or for reporting system failures, error messages, other problems with the setups or computers etc. please contact us via phone, e-mail or the user-platform openiris as well.
