All users have lab access during staffed hours (Mo-Th 8am - 9pm; Fr 8am-7pm).  To be able to use the lab after-hours and on weekends, users need to understand how to respond in emergency situations. During the 24h access qualification, a small group of PTC members ask you relevant safety questions that allow you to demonstrate your knowledge. This discussion typically takes 10-15 minutes.

This training event will focus on the basic imaging and operation of the Cypher S and VRS AFM's available at MIT.nano Characterization Facilities. Starting from the basic principles of AFM, users will also learn about cantilever selection and installation, different imaging modes, image quality improvement, and data processing and analysis methods. Users can bring their own samples for this training and SPM probes are provided. Notice, users must supply their own probes for followup qualification sessions. Full independent tool access will be granted upon completion of 2 additional one-on-one supervised use sessions that will be coordinated with the staff member during this small group training.
