Facilities

We have a number of commercial and custom built high-tech instruments available in our group that we are also ready to share with external users (depending on availability).  For industrial users we also offer the possibility to use our facilities and obtain advice on the design and interpretation of experiments on a contract basis that guarantees complete confidentiality.
