Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner

Type of Partner Sought: Organizations in need of SEM, TEM or FIB analyses.

The partner is expected to need either structural or chemical nanoanalysis services, and optionally choose, alongside advanced SEM / TEM or FIB nano‑analysis, the scientific support package: from recommending the most suitable characterization methods to brokering access to other specialized facilities available within the institute.

The desired outcome of this cooperation would be a commercial or outsourcing agreement according to which the Slovenian Institute provides SEM, TEM, and/or FIB analyses.
