Courses

The technical courses are lectures read by the technical staff where the students can acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge complementary to what learned from the academic courses.

They are preparatory for the laboratory activities and highly raccomended for new users (i.e., 1st year PhD students), to familiarize with the equipment and the correct usage.
