services
The LSAM laboratory is open to research activities by researchers from Unical University, other Italian universities, and research centers in Italy and abroad, aiming to provide the user community with a wide range of services for microscopic and spectroscopic characterization of material surfaces.
Following the enhancement of the instrumentation, access to the laboratory will be granted through “proposal” calls, evaluated by an external scientific committee, in the same manner as access to other IR STAR laboratories.
