[FILM-Users 00947] COVID update
by Bruckbauer, Andreas 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Dear FILM users, I got the following clarification from our Health & Safety advisor regarding the new SARS-CoV-2 variant: * If work cannot be carried out remotely, and is essential (i.e. can't be reasonably postponed to after the lockdown) then it can continue on site as per existing COVID safety arrangements. * Users and staff of the facility are strongly encouraged to regularly use the Asymptomatic COVID testing service to keep themselves and the rest of the ICL community at low risk of infection. This means we can book new training sessions following our existing COVID arrangements. However, it might take some time to arrange these as we are currently down to only two members of staff. Best wishes and Happy Imaging Andreas ---------------------------------------------------- Dr Andreas Bruckbauer FILM facility manager Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus Imperial College London Exhibition Road London, SW7 2AZ SAF 4th floor, open space desk 401 +44 (0)20 7594 2023 a.bruckbauer(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:a.bruckbauer@imperial.ac.uk> http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscopy/ ----------------------------------------------------

[FILM-Users 00946] A reminder to please take care of the microscope objectives
by Rothery, Stephen M 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Dear All A reminder to please take care of the microscope objectives On returning to the facility after the Xmas break, several oil objectives still had oil on them Please remember to carefully clean off the oil at the end of your session In addition this image shows the state of one of the dry objectives from the Hammersmith widefield. The surface had the remains of a broken coverslip on it and because it had been left in this condition, this resulted in it drying down onto the surface. Luckily in this case, it was possible to remove the glass and clean the objective without it being damaged. Please, please take care of our objectives - they are expensive and time consuming to replace and inconvenience other users [cid:image001.jpg@01D6E40D.7390B720] Thank you for your cooperation Bw steve FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy ************************************************************** Steve Rothery FILM Technician Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 403 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ Tel +44-(0)207 594 9793 And ICTEM, (L-Block) Room 314 Hammersmith Campus Imperial College London Du Cane Road London, W12 0NN Tel. +44-(0)207 594 1669 E-mail s.rothery(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:s.rothery@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscopy/ **************************************************************

[FILM-Users 00945] Campus status
by Bruckbauer, Andreas 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Dear FILM-users, Happy New Year to all of you! The college covid-19 campus status page has been updated (as of 3pm yesterday): https://www.imperial.ac.uk/about/covid-19/covid-19-status/ This indicates that: Researchers and research students who cannot continue to undertake their research from home and require access to laboratories for their work can return to campus, following agreement from their supervisor and/or department. If you have travelled away from your term-time address for the break, students and staff should book a test on your return<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/about/covid-19/testing-scheme/> and receive a negative result before resuming any on-campus activity. Tests are available to book 15 days in advance. Your safety remains our highest priority. Once on campus you should continue to follow the longstanding safety guidelines you have been following for the past year. You can remind yourself of these on the Safety webpages<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/admin-services/safety/safety-by-topic/laboratory…>. As such the FILM facility is open, but we will currently not book any new training sessions until we have guidance regarding the new SARS-CoV-2 variant. Best wishes Andreas ---------------------------------------------------- Dr Andreas Bruckbauer FILM facility manager Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus Imperial College London Exhibition Road London, SW7 2AZ SAF 4th floor, open space desk 401 +44 (0)20 7594 2023 a.bruckbauer(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:a.bruckbauer@imperial.ac.uk> http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscopy/ ----------------------------------------------------
