Services description
The Laboratories and facilities described, as well as performing R&D activity and supporting advanced graduation and pos-graduation courses under the responsibility of the CENIMAT/I3N and MSD, are also open to lend services and to perform applied and basic research project under financed contracts. The external services are divided on the four research groups. Each group is responsible for the respective laboratory.

In case the sample is too rough or too contaminated for normal AFM operation, the operator will warn you about it. If you insist on measuring such samples after it becomes clear that the sample is not compatible with AFM operation and it leads to the loss of function of a reasonable amount of AFM probes, a compensation for these may be called for.
For more exotic experiments, those requiring the use of a fluid cell, electrochemistry cell, high voltage in PFM/EFM or any other type of measurement listed, feel free to enquire us about the possibility of doing so and/or the price.
The session will be charged in blocks of 30minutes.
