About MicroSci

Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM™) is THE most significant recent advance in electron microscopy.

Specimens can be insulating and/or moist - even entirely liquid! Hence the range of specimens that can be imaged & in situ experiments that can be performed is vastly increased over conventional SEM.

MicroSci offers independent ESEM™ consultancy & services covering a broad range of applications in the commercial & academic sectors.

MicroSci is based at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, UK - a site that boasts 3 ESEMs™.

How can MicroSci help you?

MicroSci: consultancy & services individually tailored to the needs of your business or institution. Here are a few ideas on how MicroSci could help:

Proof-of-concept experiments - Need to convince someone that your idea for a project is viable? Maybe you need to apply for funding, but need results first? MicroSci can help out with this 'chicken-and-egg' scenario, by providing the tangible preliminary evidence you need.

Short projects - Your establishment doesn't have an ESEM™, but you want to get some ESEM™ results fast. Maybe you want a new angle to complement results obtained using other techniques.

Help & Advice - Your establishment has an ESEM™, but perhaps your specimens or experiments are proving tricky. MicroSci's Senior Consultant has a proven track record, with several years experience in working with 'difficult' specimens, and may be able to get you on the road to success.

Look-See - Not sure if ESEM™ is the right option for what you want to achieve? MicroSci's Look-See package could be the answer.

Professional Service

All-inclusive fees - Since it is usually expected that consultancy & services will be carried-out at the Cavendish Laboratory, MicroSci's fees include the cost of equipment use & consumables. Fees are available on request.

Off-site consulting - In certain (occasional) circumstances, it can be arranged for MicroSci consulting to be carried out at other premises. The basic consultancy fee + travel expenses & subsistence would then apply.

Reports - MicroSci can turn your results into a formal report, on request and for an additional fee.

Confidentiality - At MicroSci, we appreciate that your project may be commercially sensitive. That's why MicroSci has a policy of confidentiality, giving you peace-of-mind.
