ING Instrumentation Options
This page gives an overview of the instrumentation
available on the WHT and INT.
It is revised bi-annually to reflect the options offered in each semester;
a summary of the time allocation process is
also available.
Please email the instrument contact, listed in the tables, if you require further information about any instrument; important notes regarding specific instruments and procedures are given at the bottom of this page. |
