Research Made Possible
Instrumentation for Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation (IMNI) is a center that administers state-of-the-art equipment for researchers in the physical sciences and beyond in four core research facilities: Electron Microscopy Facility (EMF), Nanofabrication Central Facility (NCF), NanoTools Facility (NTF), and the Joint Engineering & Physics Instrument Shop (JEPIS).
The IMNI core research facilities are available to all Brown University departments as well as external researchers from academic institutions and commercial organizations.
Facilities
The Electron Microscopy Facility (EMF) provides a broad range of electron imaging, chemical analysis, and sample preparation techniques.
The Nanofabrication Central Facility (NCF) provides the necessary fabrication and characterization resources for research into modern device technologies, including electronics, microfluidics and photonics.
The NanoTools Facility (NTF) provides access to characterization instrumentation and technical support for advanced research.
The Joint Engineering & Physics Instrument Shop (JEPIS) offers all of the fundamental machine shop capabilities with the addition of CNC design consultation.
