Opening Hours
Surface topography (atomic force microscope can reach one-nanometer resolution), surface electrical properties measurement, and surface magnetic properties measurement
Opening Hours
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Nights, Saturdays and Sundays: Contact instrument experts or operators
System Opening Level
- General Working Hours: It is open to on-campus users and off-campus project applicants and can be self-operated by users or by our technicians and professionals. (Levels A and D)
- Night and Holidays: It is open to on-campus users and off-campus project applicants and must be operated by our technicians and professionals. (Level D)
Level Description
- Level A: Open to students who need to use it. They can operate it on their own after training and assessment.
- Level B: Each professor nominates one student for training, while the rest operate under those who have been trained. Professors with multiple students using the instrument can request an increase in the number of students receiving training.
- Level C: The instrument administrator selects several students recommended by the professor to receive training. After passing the assessment, they can self-operate the instrument and be responsible for delegated operation service.
- Level D: The laboratory's technical staff only accept delegated services and are unavailable for general use.
