Each piece of equipment requires separate training regardless of previous experience and must come from the Core Personnel. 

After completing the training, users will receive an access code to the Brain Institute Cell and Tissue Imaging Core and equipment and will be able to schedule sessions.  

Before training can begin on the 3i Cleared Tissue Light Sheet Microscope, Olympus Microscope, Zeiss Slide Scanner, or Leica LMD system, users will need to complete the Account Authorization Form and have it signed by the Primary Investigator.
