Due to restricted deadlines associated with the end of the Fiscal Year, there will be a single, 1-day, review window for August 2024 charges. Please plan accordingly.
Projected Timeline
Monday, September 2: You will receive the month of August charges from iLab for your review.
Tuesday, September 3: Last day to review charges, update the changes through the online iLab System, or submit the changes to the UTSA iLab Support Team
Wednesday, September 4: Billing files will be sent overnight to ERP for the Accounting office to post in PeopleSoft.
Items to check during the review process
The charges are correct.
Ensure Project ID/Cost Center has not exceeded budget and has not expired.
If you have any questions, contact iLab@utsa.edu. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

About Us
KAMC (Kleberg Advanced Microscopy Center (KAMC) (utsa.edu) houses state-of-the-art instruments in electron microscopy and other advanced characterization equipment. The center supports world-class research in nanotechnology, biology, chemistry, and materials sciences. Our facility includes an aberration-corrected microscope in the STEM mode JEOL ARM 200F with a spatial resolution of 78 picometers. High-resolution electron microscopes such as a field emission gun JEOL 2010F and a STEM Hitachi S5500 as well as probe microscopes and X-ray diffraction. The Center is focused on high-resolution imaging, electron diffraction, electron tomography, and spectroscopy. In addition, the center has capabilities for in situ electron microscopy.

Core Policies
Instrument Training
Allusers must undergo training on the use of instrumentation before having access to the facility. The amount of training will vary depending on user experience.
The core also offers personal in-depth training in methods of image processing and analysis using data acquired by the user. While this level of training is not required to obtain independent access to instrumentation, it is highly recommended. All training is done by appointment and requests should be made via iLab --> Request Service--> Instrument Training--> Select Instrument of Choice
Upon the completion of training, an internal user will be granted access to the main entrance door and to each room housing the instrumentation for which the user is trained to use independently.
Under no circumstances should an authorized user lend their ID card to another individual or swipe their ID card to grant the unauthorized user access to the imaging center. Any unauthorized access to instrumentation will result in the suspension of all user privileges.
All work areas should be left clean, regardless if another user is to come on the system following your reserved time slot.
Data is NOT indefinitely stored on the local acquisition computer. It is uploaded regularly to our dedicated server and removed from the microscope computer. Data management is a component of user training.
