Instrumentation

One of the advantages of working with us is access to a wide range of specialized equipment.

We contribute to, and build upon, the strength of instrumentation facilities at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Information on custom Instrumentation facilities operated by CEM faculty, as well as Core Shared Instrumentation facilities related to CEM activities, can be found on the links below.
