The Electron Microscope
There is one computer called Tecnai PC that operates the microscope. This computer is only used to operate the microscope. Each user will have her/his own user account in the Tecnai PC. Each user can define own settings/layout without affecting the other accounts.
There is a second computer called Support PC that is connected to the Tecnai PC. The Support PC is the place to store temporary images and work with them, if necessary. Each user will also have her/his own user account in the Support PC.
Neither the Tecnai PC nor the Support PC are connected to the internet. Burn a CD with your data, or use a USB memory stick to retrieve your images.
When finished your session, switch off Filament and High Tension, log out from your account on the Tecnai PC and the Support PC, but leave the Tecnai PC on, switch off both screens and sign in the log-book.
Everyone is responsible for his/her booking as well as for turning off the system when finished or after cancellation of a previously booked session.
