For inquiries and trainings, please contact the Imaging and Optics Facility team: email. We are communicating updates about events and systems through mailing lists:

  • imaging[at]lists.ist.ac.at is used by the Imaging and Optics Facility staff to send out relevant notifications about IOF guidelines, news and events.  This list is obligatory to all users of the Imaging and Optics Facility. All users will be added to this list by the Imaging and Optics Facility staff.
  • imaging-cancellation[at]lists.i st.ac.at is to be used to send out emails ‘from users to users’ of the Imaging and Optics Facility. This is an additional non-obligatory mailing list, for which you can sign up via ICP self-service.
