Dear FILM Users, We are pleased to announce updates to our microscope usage policy aimed at improving your imaging experience. Based on the available resources, we have decided to remove the weekly limits on microscope usage while maintaining daily limits. This change will help users with long-term projects maximize their data collection without delays. Below is a summary of the new usage limits: Resource Current Weekly Limit Current Daily Limit New Weekly Limit New Daily Limit CF3 - Leica SP5 MP/FLIM upright 20 12 0 12 CF4 - Leica SP5 MP/FLIM inverted 12 6 0 6 CF6 - Leica SP8 inverted 8 4 0 6 HCF1 - Zeiss LSM-780 inverted 0 6 0 6 HCF2 - Leica Stellaris 8 inverted 0 6 0 6 HCF3 - Leica Stellaris 8 STED-FALCON 0 6 0 6 HMI1 - Leica Cell DIVE Multiplex Imager - - 0 0 HWF1 - Zeiss Axio Observer 8 5 0 6 HWF4-HC - Nikon High Content 36 12 0 12 Imaris Software (HIVE1) 0 0 0 0 LS1 - Leica Stellaris 5 Light Sheet 16 0 0 0 SR1 - Zeiss Elyra PS.1 20 12 0 12 WF1 - Zeiss Axio Observer 12 10 0 10 WF3 - Zeiss Axio Observer 12 10 0 10 WF5 - Zeiss Axio Observer 7 12 10 0 10 WF6 - Zeiss Cell Discoverer 7 0 0 0 0 This new policy was successfully tested in the ICTEM part of the FILM facility. We remain flexible and open to adjustments based on your feedback and demand. If there is a need to reinstate weekly limits, we will reassess accordingly. We also want to remind you that bookings for the microscopes are still limited to two weeks in advance. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out. Best regards, Volodymyr
