To insure that the equipment remains in good working order and for the safety of the users, it is absolutely required that every user be trained and checked out on a given piece of equipment before he or she is allowed to use it.

The following training Mini-courses will be provided as requested:

• Atomic Force Microscope (8 hours)
• Basic Laser Alignment (4 hours)
• Characterization Instrumentation (4 hours)
