To schedule with PNCC, users must schedule experiments through the PNCC Portal and abide by our Scheduling Policies (this includes cancellation policies). To receive training, users must be listed as participants of a proposal and submit an application for our Training Workshops. PNCC's goal in training users is for them to gain independence at completion; some workshops require scheduling of follow-up training sessions to assess user independent abilities.
PNCC offers either pure service, informal viewing, or independent access via our scheduling. All PNCC scheduling is limited to FIVE days-a-week, as such, we can typically only schedule one 2+ day request per Instrument per proposal a week.
On average, requests are scheduled between 3 to 10 weeks. This wait varies based on facility load: microscope requirements, instrument downtime, number of requests, and cancellations.
