Access Policy
Access to the research infastructure of the Facility for Electron Microscopy Research ia available to all facility members, especially where access is intended to lead to research collaborations, publications and grant applications. Access on a 'service' basis is subject to approval by the Facility Director and/or Facility Manager and availability of instrument time and support staff.
Eligible Users
Members of the FEMR are the primary users of the research infrastructure and will receive priority access to instruments and equipment; however, access is available to users external to the FEMR. Acceptance of external users (non-collaborating academic and industry) is at the discretion of the Facility Director or Facility Manager.
Training
To minimize the risk of equipment damage and to support the appropriate collection and interpretation of data, all users must receive training in the use of the instruments and equipment by staff of the FEMR. The Facility Director or Facility Manager or their nominee reserve the right to deny any application for training if the necessary instrument is in high demand by trained users and an increased number of users will impede the ongoing reearch of trained users. When demand for instruments is high, the Facility Director or Facility Manager or nominee will favour applications involving projects that lead to collaborative outputs and grant applications.
