In 2013 we successfully applied to enhance electron microscopy at St Andrews through the Capital for Great Technologies scheme. The purpose of this new facility is to provide state of the art capability to analyse and control functional materials at the nanoscale to underpin and drive forward critical Materials research in Energy Materials, Catalysis, Photonics, Metamaterials and Electronics. All elements of the facility are well used and usage is expanding now that the new facilities have come on stream. Going forward, however, we are severely constrained by lack of facility operators. It is easy to project doubling or more of usage with a second skilled operator on the Scios and Titan in particular. Not only would this involve more operator time on the instruments, it would increase training time and afford more time for detailed studies.Thus the purpose of this application is to secure the appointment of a second skilled operator for two years to increase productivity and indeed capability through more rounded coverage. This will minimise down time due to holidays, allow more than one of the key facilities to be operated by our specialists for research and/or training at a single time and most importantly will provide the space to train more users to a higher standard.We also propose to increase the outreach of our facility in the region, holding two focused workshops and linking more strongly to Universities in our region. We also hope to link with the other major Materials Electron Microscopy Centre in Scotland to coordinate capabilities.An improved web-based booking system will be implemented.

2013年，我们成功申请了通过大型技术方案的资本来增强圣安德鲁斯的电子显微镜。这种新设施的目的是提供最先进的能力，以分析和控制纳米级的功能材料，以支撑和推动对能量材料，催化，光子学，超材料和电子学领域的关键材料研究。该设施的所有元素都已很好地使用，并且由于新设施已经出现，使用情况正在扩大。但是，未来，由于缺乏设施运营商，我们受到了严格的限制。尤其是在SCIO和TITAN上使用第二个熟练的操作员，可以将两倍或更多用法进行分配或更多用法。这不仅涉及更多的运营商时间，还会增加培训时间，并为详细研究提供更多时间。因此，本申请的目的是确保任命第二个熟练的操作员两年来通过更全面的覆盖范围来提高生产力和能力。这将使由于节假日的停机时间最小化，允许我们的专家一次运营多个关键设施，以进行研究和/或一次培训，最重要的是，我们还将为更多的用户提供培训的空间，以提高我们在该地区的设施的宣传，并提高了两次集中的工作室，并在我们地区举行了更加紧密的联系。我们还希望与苏格兰的其他主要材料电子显微镜中心联系以协调功能。将实施改进的基于Web的预订系统。
