Also, here's a link to a 'quote' on a new source... I've heard how
much these usually cost before, but I can't remember exactly at the
moment. I think around $2-4k:

Here's a good primer on FIB I just found when searching for the
average lifetime of the Gallium source:

DOH! Thank Nathan - that would be a huge
difference. I got fooled by the
fact that the several listings on caeonline.com all call it a FIB SEM
system:

Don't these things usually allow some secondary electron imaging as well
though?
Yes, the imaging electronics is the same as a scanning electron
microscope, the beam scan electronics probably a bit different but
mostly the same ideas (using electrical or magnetic fields to scan the
beam).
If it doesn't have any imaging capabilities, I doubt that we would want this
beast. Would be good to check this with the owner though...
Yep, I'm guessing this has imaging... it would be pretty hard to focus
to <5nm without some feedback to check edges for!
