Re: AIIMS Central Instrumentation
As per your reference I will help you here to get the information about the Central Instrumentation Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facility of AIIMS so that you can have idea about it. Here are the programs which come under the Instrumentation facility National training programs (a) for technical personnel This training programme is conducted during January/February every alternate year and is of 2-week duration. Training is imparted in the maintenance and operation of electron microscopes and other ancillary equipment. (b) for scientific investigators This training programme is conducted during October/November each year and is of 2-week duration. The first half is devoted to basic course and the second half is for the advance techniques. In the basic course, theoretical and practical aspects of electron microscopy, such as principles of operation, use and maintenance of electron microscopes and specimen preparation are included. (c) Summer training A six-week extensive hands-on training on sample preparation and operation of both SEM and TEM is held every year tentatively from 15th May for a period of six weeks. The objective of the training program is to enhance the skills of technical support staff for an electron microscope Laboratory. Here is the staff members of the program Technical staff Sandeep Arya, Technical Officer Chanda Panwar, Lab Technician Anurag Singh, Lab Technician Madan Mohan Sharma, Lab Technician Meherban Singh, Lab Technician Raj Girish Mishra, Lab Attendant II Non-technical staff :- Manjeet Kapoor, Private Secretary Sudhir Srivastava, Upper Division Clerk (Stores) Here are the facilities which come under it Tissue (Biological) processing for TEM Tissue (Biological) processing for SEM TEM viewing SEM viewing Elemental analysis by EDAX Image analysis Immuno-electron microscopy Existing Equipment 1.
