*Keyuser
An OM Keyuser serves as contact person for the OM staff and will support the OM staff to train new users of the respective research group. If there is no active Keyuser, choose in agreement with the research group head a new Keyuser that will get trained from the OM staff but need to stay for at least 2-3 years and should be experienced in optical (confocal) microscopy.
In case, your group never used the OM facility before ask your research group head to register to the booking system OpenIris via the request "Register with BioSupraMol/SupraFAB (BCP) @ FU-Berlin" and to contact the core-facility coordinator Mathias Dimde for establishing group access to the BCP-storage.
