I for one would be super interested in this,
especially for our plant
cuticle/epidermis and chloroplast manipulations, and general curiosities of
course. Pollen photography is also a thing.
$15k is bonkers but seems like the going rate. Wish there was a way you
could just rent time to use one.
I also hear EMs are getting smaller and more affordable in general... Let's
hope. If that's true then may be smart to wait it out.

Here's some images of the Seiko SMI 3200
Scanning Electron Microscope
that
is in need of a new home:

Note that this is NOT a small system! It's not huge as SEM's go, but
definitely not desktop - more like "small room sized". And it would
obviously need some dedicated person to keep it in good running
condition.
It is however almost brand new, and currently
*running*, at <5nm
resolution!
Beam Services Inc is down in Pleasanton, so I guess interested parties
could
potentially go and have a look at the system.
This kind of equipment
would
be a significant commitment and investment in
time and effort on our
part,
so let's coordinate on this shall we?
