If you are an OHSU employee/student, you will need a funding source assigned to your account before you can book time on ALMC resources. Funding sources (aliases) must be assigned by your PI or financial manager. Instructions for PIs are available at this link. 

If you are not an OHSU employee/student, please reach out to us via email to inquire about external access to our core services. 

Request Services or Training

Contact us by email with a description of your needs. We will respond within 2 business days and ask you to fill out a form. 

What happens once you fill out a form? We will review your form and reach out if we have any additional questions. If it is clear which microscope(s) is best for your experiment, we will send further instructions on how to book a training or book our time for hired imaging. If we are unsure which instrument is the right choice, we will suggest entering a pilot phase where we meet one-on-one and test your samples on a few different instruments.

What happens after the pilot? Once we decide on an instrument, you will have the option to get trained for independent use or hire us to image for you. 

3. Use iLab to book instruments and workstations (once approved)
