Next Steps

For all users: Once paperwork has been submitted, please contact Guy DeRose (derose@caltech.edu) to schedule your general safety training session. If you will be using the Tecnai TF-30 TEM only, you can bypass the general safety training requirement and contact Matthew Hunt (matthew.hunt@caltech.edu) directly to schedule instrument training.
