Hi All,
we try and give our users a head start in thinking about their quantitative imaging experiment
from the very start, in order to help them choose when microscope to use, and if its a screening job or not
We use some standard "new user project questions"
(see the link below)
as ask them to try to answer them in as much detail as they can
and email their thoughts back to use,
before we sit down and discuss when they are trying to achieve.
Also, all our team members get that email,
so we all have some idea what that user is doing,
even if we didn't interact directly with them yet,
but can still help them better later.
