   Ross Image Core policy - Sept 14, 2022: mask is optional for FULLY VACCINATED users -- as up to date covid=19 vaccines, boosters, new version(s) -- original+Onicron bivalent mRNA vaccines just came out. If you are not fully vaccinated, please wear a mask in (and near) the image core -- or arrange for a fully vaccinated colleague to do your imaging.  If you do wear a mask, please wear it correctly. 

  Please continue to social distance as much as practical, that is one user per microscope station preferred, two ok, more is probably a bad idea.
