In addition to serving the Brown community, the IMNI core research facilities also welcome external researchers from academic institutions and commercial organizations.
The Electron Microscopy Facility (EMF), Nanofabrication Central Facility (NCF) and NanoTools Facility (NTF) are available as both self-use and full-service facilities. For self-use, technical staff will provide users with practical training, and users are then free to use the instrumentation independently. With the full-service option, technical staff will perform the instrument operations for users. The Joint Engineering & Physics Instrument Shop (JEPIS) operates entirely on a full-service model, where users can submit work orders to be completed by the JEPIS technical staff.
All prospective external organizations should review the process outlined below or within the specific facility page and submit all required documentation to imni@brown.edu or Barus & Holley, Rm 643.
