The CMCI Microscope Specialist will advise you on the most suitable microscope to use for your research project, free of charge. Each user will be trained according to their prior experience and microscope needs. To arrange a training session, contact us at centre-for-microscopy@concordia.ca, providing the following information: The facility offers free of charge access to the CMCI server in order to store data for a project. The storage server allow user to export their images from acquisition station and share information with their teams. Its main purpose is to give you a place where you can save your microscopy images after your session while reducing the risk of malware from portable drives and USB key. It also ensures the good functioning of the microscope. You can save directly to the server or, if speed is an issue, on the local hard-drive and then move the images. For a fee, the Microscope Specialist can perform additional tasks including image acquisition and sample preparation. Additionally, the Microscope Specialist can write bespoke code to perform image analysis, assuming suitable data has been acquired; this should be discussed between the PI, researcher and Microscope Specialist prior to the acquisition of data.
