FEMR Shared Facility Policies

The Facility for Electron Microscopy Research (FEMR) operates shared facilities under the aegis of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences to enable and facilitate scientific research, particularly in the areas of life and biomedical sciences, environmental sciences, materials science and engineering, and physical sciences. The FEMR is open to all researchers performing non-classified research from within and beyond Ï㽶ÊÓƵ.

User fees are charged to all users to offset the costs incurred in providing scientific equipment and technical expertise.

Researchers who make use of the FEMR must acknowledge this use as follows:
“This work made use of the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Facility for Electron Microscopy Research.â€

Using the research infrastructure of the FEMR:

  • To use a particular instrument, a researcher must have been trained by facility staff unless specifically posted otherwise. An unauthorized researcher and anyone knowingly granting access to such person is in violation.
  • Users are not permitted to share usernames/passwords, or to reserve or enable an instrument on behalf of another user.
  • Instrumentation must beÌýreservedÌýand enabledÌýby the intended user prior to and during use.
  • Users are not to move or disturb the work of other researchers unless given permission by facility staff or the researcher. Notify facility staff about unattended samples.
  • Users are expected to remove all samples and to leave the work area in as clean or cleaner condition compared to when they arrived.
