What Are the Challenges in Enhanced Instrumentation?
Despite their advanced capabilities, enhanced instruments come with challenges:
1. Cost: High-end instruments like TEM and AFM are expensive, limiting accessibility for smaller research facilities. 2. Complexity: Operating these instruments often requires specialized training, making them less accessible to non-experts. 3. Sample Preparation: Preparing samples for techniques like TEM can be intricate and time-consuming, potentially altering the sample's native state. 4. Resolution Limits: Although these instruments offer high resolution, there are still limits to what can be observed, especially for dynamic processes at the nanoscale.
