To
the Confocal listserv Users: The
Light and Confocal Microscopy Service at The Jackson Laboratory is conducting a
benchmarking survey in an effort to develop an understanding of the best
current practices offered by peer institutions. The goal is to gather quality
data that can be used to assist us and all survey participants with operational
assessment and planning. Survey participants will receive compiled results
which will be de-identified before distribution. We would appreciate users to
fill out the survey at the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=m8sBKL_2bDWPOXSHpeHeWwqQ_3d_3d Thank you for your participation. James Denegre, Ph.D Associate Research Scientist Manager, Light Microscopy The Jackson Laboratory 207.288.6321 |

Question 5 is broken. I answered No for question 4, and received this when I tried to go to the next page: * This question requires an answer. 5. If yes, please indicate the type of NCI-designated cancer center: I answered "I prefer to not answer" to continue the survey. Also, I think you would be better off to have questions such as 13 be "fill in", rather than drop down list. you could always make bins later. Question 19 notes: * not all my widefield microscopes are billed at the same rate. * my multiphoton microscope is also a confocal microscope. * I answered zero for spinning disk, because my CARV is on the floor, no longer in use. Now have an Apotome instead.

Well, I'd have to say that the whole survey is
broken. We
are a core facility servicing an entire University and I
can
see no possibility of answering the majority of the
questions.
But maybe it wasn't intended to cover broad-based
centres
like ours? (We have optical, electron beam, ion,
scanning
probe and X-ray instruments, and users spanning
biology,
physics, chemistry, engineering, geosciences,
medicine,
agriculture and archaeology). But also, we are part
of the
Australia-wide consortium AMMRF, and all member
institutions
of that consortium are entitled to use facilities at any of
the
participating centres at the same rates. So our pool
of users
is truly incalculable.
