NOTES

  • New JEOL JSM-7100F on order to house the Gatan Cryo Sample preparation unit, delivery mid-year.
  • Tecnai T20F is currently being upgraded with new panels & new computer to be installed.
  • JSM-890 SEM is not operational and is not serviceable (20years old) & is to be replaced by a new Cryo-FEG-SEM around mid year.
  • XL30 EDX Unit positioned in the correct position, DO NOT wind the unit IN or OUT.
  • Safety Begins with YOU. Please familiarise yourself with the University's "ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM" and SAFETY POLICIES ON-LINE

Last Update:-  21-Mar-2013

All CMM users are reminded that all techniques and each project requires a "Risk Assessment" to be carried out. This is a mandatory requirement under University regulations. Please forward your Risk Assessment to the CMM Safety Officer.

Please read the prepared "Risk Assessments" for each instrument you have been trained to use, and sign off your name at the back of the Risk Assessment book.
