What this means for your lab
This award replaces the camera and control software on an existing transmission electron microscope at a shared microscopy facility, keeping an imaging instrument already in service running rather than funding a new UHV or surface-science system. A reminder that MRI also funds upgrades and repairs to instruments already in use, not only new acquisitions.
Who can apply
Completed award to a US institution of higher education; not an open call.
