Training is needed for both the Zeiss LSM Confocal NLO microscope system and the Keyence BZ-X710 Fluorescence Microscope before access is granted. The Keyence microscope training information is available online and can be requested. The Zeiss Confocal training is more extensive and is a combination of online and in-person training.
