University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

There are many ways to find help in the Microscopy Suite and the VMIL! In addition to the software and hardware manuals available in the VMIL, VMIL consultants are available nearly every day to help answer your questions. View the consultant schedule for specific hours. They may also be reached via email at VMIL.

We try to keep our website updated with the information regarding the most recent software updates, new hardware available, etc. However, we are unable to unsure that the information found here is applicable to the newest equipment available in the lab. Where possible, we have either dated the documents or have labeled the pages based upon part number or release number. In many cases, the procedures listed are the very similar, even though the document may apply to an older version.
