In the Analytical Electron Microscopy Room, we provide (practical) training for those who wish to conduct electron microscopy by themselves to acquire techniques ranging from sample preparation to acquisition of experimental data.
In order to actually acquire data and use it for research, it is necessary to acquire not only basic “practical skills” but also “lecture (theory)” and applied techniques for each field.
For training programs on standard electron microscopy theory and practical skills, please see here.
The training content varies depending on the technology you wish to learn, so please contact our staff for details.
Standard training based on the linked page is currently under preparation and the content may change.
We are still conducting training, but the content will be determined after consultation with the person in charge.
Skill level and usage permit (TEM) guideline
Once you have completed the training and acquired the necessary skills, the range of usage permission will be expanded accordingly.
| # | License | Skill level | Permission to use | Required skills | Optional skills | Administrative skills *1 | Machine Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Advanced Advanced | Can be observed independently. (No support required/can be used in emergencies) | Can be used alone on non-business days*2 | Acquired | Acquired | Bake Restart Other | ※3 |
| 3 | Standard Standard | Can be observed independently. (Basically no experiment assistance required. Staff available only in emergencies) | Extended business days available*2 | Acquired | Acquired | ACD Heat Basic troubleshooting | *4 |
| 2 | Beginner Beginner | Able to observe independently to a certain extent. (Experiment assistance may be required from time to time.) Independent training possible | Independent use during business hours | Acquired | Attendance | ー | ※5 |
| 1 | Basic Basic | Independent observation is not possible (constant assistance required) Witness training only | Witness observation (constant assistance) | Attendance | Attendance | ー | ※6 |
| 0 | Visit Visitor | Independent observation is not possible (Operating agent only) | Witness observation (operating agent) | ー | ー | ー | ※6 |
*1 Required management skill settings vary depending on the device. Please check with your device administrator for details.
*2 For independent use without the supervision of our laboratory staff, permission from your laboratory is required in addition to our laboratory’s permission.
*3 You can specify your free time directly from the reservation system. On non-business days, please ask the staff to make a reservation.
*4 You can specify your free time directly from the reservation system. For extended use, please ask the staff to make a reservation.
*5 You can specify your free time directly from the reservation system.
※6 To be decided after consultation with the staff in charge
Required and optional skills
- Required skills: Skills to use the equipment safely and without causing problems such as breakdowns.
- For example, turning on/off high pressure and emissions, setting samples, loading configuration files, etc.
- Skills such as bright field, dark field, and high-resolution observation, which have different requirements for each user, are not included.
- Selective skills: Skills selected for each sample and experimental purpose.
Training stages
- Attendance: Must have taken a course on the relevant training item.
- Acquisition: Our office has confirmed that the relevant training items can be fully implemented independently.
Training implementation
- Training will be conducted by our office staff or senior users within the same group.
- For training items that you have already completed, you can train members of your user group on behalf of our staff.
As a general rule, our office staff will confirm the “acquisition” stage.- “Standard” and “Advanced” users can certify “Basic” users in the same group as “Beginner” users.
- An “Advanced” user can certify a “Beginner” user in the same group as a “Standard” user.
- “Advanced” user certification will be performed by our office staff.
