The 6th floor computer lab will be closed for the rest of today and tomorrow until 1 p.m. We will be conducting a site survey, so please do not enter the lab.
The upgrades on the ESEM will be extending into next week. If anyone has set up an appointment with us for training I will contact you individually to reschedule those.
Just a reminder, a brief training will be required before you can operate the instrument without supervision.
If you are ever going to need TEM grids while I’m on vacation (Aug 2-30), please take the TEM grids in the glass desiccator at the MM631.
Please, make sure you follow the TEM Grid Instructions.
Regards,
Erico Freitas
I’ll be out of town August 2-30 and Joshua King is looking after the STEM while I’m gone.
Please, make sure you double check Joshua King’s schedule and invite him when you reserve time at the STEM so he can assist you during the STEM sessions.
STEM training sessions will resume In September.
If you need TEM grids please let Elizabeth Miller knows.
Kind regards,
Erico Freitas

Please plan your instrument use accordingly.
