Image analysis workstations

We provide a range of analysis workstations, accessible to all facility users.

We provide a range of analysis workstations, accessible to all facility users. These are all based in the image analysis suite (room C27\U) except for Huiksen, which is located in the Phase 2, room B10C. All workstations can also be used remotely using the University’s 'remote gateway' service.

Some workstations are free to use for facility users; however, time on higher specification workstations (Betzig, Huiksen, Nipkow, Ruska, Stephens, Zernike) is currently charged via PPMS at £2.27 per hour.

Remote access

To use available workstations, please contact us on wolfson-analysis@bristol.ac.uk to request remote gateway access, stating the IT tag or name of the system you wish to use.

As with microscopes, please book time on all analysis workstations using PPMS. You will need to connect to the University VPN in order to use PPMS.

Since only one user can be logged on at any given time it is important that all use is booked in advance via PPMS. Similarly, please save data regularly in case you get disconnected. Ideally, no data would be stored locally on the computer (RDSF or OneDrive are much safer options). 

To connect to these computers, please follow the instructions here and use the addresses listed in the workstation table below.
