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, first users must apply for our Training Workshops and then schedule follow-up experiments after training.

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.
