Abstract

The MyScope online training resource has been supporting the global microscopy community since 2011. Since then, it has expanded from six to twelve modules, growing in line with emerging and increasingly important areas of microscopy such as FIB and Cryo-EM. By sharing the expertise and commitment of Microscopy Australia staff to effective and efficient microscopy training, MyScope is being maintained as an up-to-date training tool. Online teaching and training resources such as MyScope have proven to be more important than ever in helping facilities and course leaders manage pandemic-impacted teaching, training and access regimes.
