Lab life
A microscope you can book on day one
Why every new person gets instrument time in their first week, before they know what they are doing.
The usual pattern is that a new student spends months reading before they touch the good microscope. We do the opposite.
The first week
Everyone books two hours on the confocal in week one, with a mentor beside them. They image something simple and take the picture home.
Why it works
People learn what questions to ask once they have seen the data come out. It also makes the instrument ordinary rather than precious.
