Information on the SEM-FIB webcalendar

The SEM-FIB webcalendar provides information on the booking status of the FEI QuantaTM 3D FEG at the Laboratory for Scanning Electron Microscopy and Ion Beam Applications at the University of Vienna.
The slots are colour coded:
  : slot is free for booking
  : a booking request has been submitted, but not yet been confirmed by the labmanager
  : occupied slot

Access to the FEI QuantaTM 3D FEG is possible for scientists from the earth science departments at the University of Vienna (listed below) and cooperation partners:
Department of Lithospheric Research
Department of Geodynamics and Sedimentology
Department of Environmental Sciences
Institute of Mineralogy and Crystallography
Institute of Paleontology

Via this web calendar, users can schedule access to the FEI QuantaTM 3D FEG. Only entire slots can be booked.
Slot 1: 9:00 - 13:00 (morning session)
Slot 2: 13:00 - 9:00 (afternoon + overnight session)

Access fees per slot depend on the analytical methods used. As access is restricted to members of the earth science departments of the University of Vienna and collaborators, only consumables are covered by the access fees.
