Please note that only authorized users have access to the Google Calendar to reserve usage time to operate the HELIOS SEM/FIB and JEOL NEOARM TEM/STEM instruments. The instruments in the Sample Preparation space do not need to be reserved (except Ion Mill), but common courtesy is asked when multiple users are working simultaneously.

All NCF laboratories operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week. However, laboratory access is restricted depending on the User Category (In Training, Standard, Advanced). Remember that Peak Hours Usage runs from Monday to Friday (no holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All other times, including weekends and holidays, are considered Off Peak Hours.
