If you book one of the following microscopes (LSM700, LSM510META, NikonA1r spectral, Leica SP5) more than 3 days (72 hours) in advance, an automatic reservation limit of 2 hours per day and per user is applied. In contrast, if you book these microscopes for an use within less than 72 hours, this restriction is not applied. In other words, the reservation limits is adaptable according to the rate of use, the idea being to optimize the use of these machines dedicated to fixed samples.
