Microscope Reservation

Reservation : We use the Google calendar system for microscope scheduling. First time users must register and then send an e-mail to ramshes@musc.edu for the microscopes and indicate the email address you have used for the calendar account and which microscope you want to be added to. The calendar for the microscope will then be added to your account.

The calendars can be viewed from the links below. However to create or delete a sign-up one has to go to the calendar website and sign-in.
