Accessing the ACMM |
||
Welcome to the ACMM User area. Please note that, before using ACMM facilities, you must:
Acknowledge Us - Help Us Help You!We would appreciate it if you acknowledge us in publications and presentations resulting from access to our instrumentation and expertise. But why? Acknowledgments are evidence that investments in equipment and people have led to important outcomes. This helps us to make the case for future investments, both in the next generation of instrumentation, and in the people needed to support user communities working in the facility. Acknowledgement is important to the future of research because it tangibly helps sustain world-class microscopy and microanalysis capabilities in Australia. Help us to help you!
