Scheduling

How to schedule time on the microscope or training

  1. To schedule training or assisted operation time, contact Dr. Dan Boyle by e-mail dboyle@ksu.edu.
  2. Approved independent operators of microscopes in the K-State Microscopy Facility may now use K-State Outlook 365 calendars to schedule. An approved operator is an individual that has been trained on a given microscope, and has received instructions on facilities rules and policies by the Director of this facility. They also have on file with the facility an approval form for that specific microscope sign by the individual, their principal investigator or faculty supervisor, and the Director of the Facility. Scheduling request most be made at least one week in advance. If you decide to cancel once your appointment has been scheduled, a 24 hour advanced cancellation must be sent to dboyle@ksu.edu to not incur charges. Operating hours are 8:00 am until 4:30 pm Monday through Fridays excluding holidays.
