Please check the available equipment and their locations above. Below, you can select the specific equipment or group of instruments relevant to your proposal. A joint request for TEM and Dual Beam is only permitted if Dual Beams are required for sample preparation. For independent TEM and Dual Beam projects, please submit separate proposals. While the access committee will make every effort to allocate TEM and Dual Beam time at the same node, scheduling constraints or the unavailability of a Dual Beam at the designated TEM facility may result in TEM and Dual Beam experiments being conducted at different nodes.
The user, once the experiment is finished, is strongly encouraged to complete a survey available at the website. A kind reminder email will be sent to the user for completion of this survey. In addition, the user will inform about any scientific or technological result derived from the use of the ICTS, and also about any dissemination made of the mentioned results. The user will have to name the ICTS at any dissemination. The ICTS will keep an updated register of the beneficiary users of the competitive open access and an historic of all the R&D actions (publications, patents, and others) associated to the accesses to the ICTS. This information will include the corresponding activity reports and will be available under request.
