Data Management and Access
Are you looking for help organising your research data? Or do you need to remotely access an Adelaide Microscopy device? Then see below for answers to your questions.
How do I organise my microscopy files?
Thoughtful file organisation makes research easier. It will benefit the use and sharing, as well as short and long-term storage of your microscopy images.
As part of our facility inductions, we now provide training in file organisation covering file naming, directory structures and documentation. All users affiliated with The University of Adelaide, and who register with Adelaide Microscopy, will be enrolled in the Research Data Management for Microscopy training resource (look out an invitation in your inbox!). This course is hosted within MyUni.
External and existing users can access the video and course materials via the links below.
Note that eligible Higher Degree by Research students can claim 1 CaRST credit upon completion of the training.
If you are an existing user interested in file organisation training, then please contact microscopy@adelaide.edu.au for enrolment into the MyUni course.

Sign-in to the TeamViewer app. Once you receive your license, follow the steps in the image below to access the microscopy device.
External users should use the email address with which they registered.
We will provide the passwords only for the devices listed in your request.
