Aren't there plans to build a large polycarbonate box for sensitive bio work? (I might have misheard, who knows)

If so, it makes sense to put the ebeam in there too, to take advantage of its 4nm resolution clean air would be ideal.

Hm - "refurbished by refilling the reservoir with Gallium". That sounds like a DIY job if I ever heard one! I happen to have some Gallium sitting right here...

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:
