INS600: INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA INTERPRETATION FOR LABORATORY DIRECTORS (FORMERLY COM802)
We are pleased to offer a course in instrumentation specifically for laboratory directors and conservation professionals who need to become more familiar with the processes, capabilities, and limitations of certain instrumental techniques, but do not necessarily use them first hand. The course is designed as a three-day introduction and/or review of Microscopy and Spectroscopy equipment, processes and data analysis. Participants learn what each instrument‘s capabilities are, as well as their limitations.

- Conservators
- Any person in a science-related field that desires to refresh their understanding of microscopy and spectroscopy instrumentation and resulting data
- Any person desiring to enter scientific fields that utilize microscopy and spectroscopy instrumentation
Students are expected to successfully complete a variety of tasks in the form of hands-on exercises, laboratory exercises, identifications of unknowns, and quizzes. In addition, the students are required to have 100% attendance during the course, participate in class, complete a student evaluation form and pre and post course assessment forms.
The student is notified at the end of the course whether or not they have successfully completed the requirements of the course based on:
- 100 % attendance
- class participation
- completion of all course material
- completed and signed student evaluation form
- completed pre and post course assessment forms.
Upon successfully meeting these requirements, a student is awarded a certificate of completion and IACET CEU credits, if available. Those who have not successfully passed the course requirements do not receive a certificate or IACET CEU credits.
