Light and electron microscopy services and outstanding core facilities.
We are still allowing users who are properly trained to operate the instruments independently with the understanding that any support will be remote. Please bring a cell phone and/or your own laptop with a camera so that you can call a CAM staff member to set up remote support. We will post numbers on each instrument. ONLY REMOTE SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE. Data analysis support will be performed only with remote desktops.
