1.1 Instrument
This user guide covers the use of Zeiss Axioplan 2 imaging microscope. For more information on
each instrument, visit: http://www.miu.helsinki.fi/instruments/index.htm.
1.2 Reservations
Instructions for Scheduler online reservation system can be found on the MIU web page:
http://www.miu.helsinki.fi/reservations.htm. You can make your reservations three weeks in
advance. If you need to cancel your reservation, you have to do it two hours before your reservation
starts. Make sure you are familiar with the use of Scheduler and the MIU user policy and fees
(http://www.miu.helsinki.fi/userinfo.htm and http://www.miu.helsinki.fi/fees.htm).
If you want to extend your session and there are no reservations after you, you can use the "extend"
option in Scheduler (click first on your reservation). If your reserved time is already up, you cannot
extend your present reservation any more. In this case you will have to make a new reservation.
1.3 Unauthorized use
MIU periodically checks the logins of the computers. If your logon/off times exceed your reserved
time in Scheduler, MIU will consider that as unauthorized use of the instrument and ask for an
explanation. For unauthorized use of the instrument, MIU may issue a warning. After three
warnings, MIU may revoke the user's license. Also, misuse/neglect of the instrument may lead
either to a warning or cancellation of the user license, and the repair costs may be charged.
