Dear All

Please find details and a programme below for an upcoming RMS course designed for LM Facility Managers and those looking to move into a similar role.

Establishing & Providing Light Microscopy Core Facility Services
19 – 20 OCTOBER 2016, GUY’S HOSPITAL, LONDON
www.rms.org.uk/lm-core-facility
 
This course, from the Royal Microscopical Society, will help individuals who intend to improve some aspects of their existing services as well as people who plan to work in or to run a Light Microscopy facility and do not have any experience. The course will cover a wide range of important issues required for establishing and providing light microscopy service in core facilities. Time will be given to discussions at the end of workshops. Registration for this course is now open at www.rms.org.uk/lm-core-facility
