Basic Policy
As a general rule, technical support services are provided during standard working hours on regular weekdays.

- Feasibility Determination: Availability depends on staff scheduling and instrument maintenance. Requests cannot always be accommodated.
- Surcharge Rates Apply: In addition to standard instrument usage and technical support fees, prescribed holiday surcharges will apply.
- Advance Consultation Required: Requests must be consulted and coordinated well in advance.
- Scope of Application: This notice applies specifically to technical support handled by the ARIM Project Unit and is not a general policy for all instruments or self-use operations within the Division of Analytical Electron Microscopy.
