Using SRNML: Non-OU Academic & Gov't Researchers

Assisted and Unassisted equipment training and use

The SRNML is a user facility, encouraging clients to participate in preparing and observing their materials. Use of the major instruments requires a charge that partially reimburses our maintenance and operations costs. Usage may be arranged following consultation with SRNML personnel; reservations and logging and done through our iLab site. It is also possible to collaborate with SRNML personnel and have them collect and share data on specimens that you provide to us; please discuss this during your initial consultation.

Academic and government researchers from outside OU will be charged the External Academic / Government rate. OUHSC researchers are considered ‘internal’. Follow the steps on the ‘Get started with SRNML use’ page to get started.

SRNML participation in your courses and events

SRNML frequently hosts tours and demos for other courses, and SRNML personnel frequently give guest lectures and seminars. We would be happy to discuss possibilities for in-person or virtual interactions.

Events and outreach

We welcome your participation in a range of events and outreach activities. Please let us know if you’re interested!
