For MIT Users
In general, all people who charge the costs of their research to a standard MIT account are considered "MIT users." MIT users are entitled to facility access cards, to the highest priority in the booking of instrument time, and to all user privileges.
Using the Instrumentation:
Getting Trained
The goal of the facility is that the vast majority of users will use the equipment themselves to perform their own work. All users must receive instruction from the SEF Staff. Users new to MIT who have used even identical equipment elsewhere are not exempt from this requirement.
In order to schedule training, please contact the staff in the appropriate facility:
