cost issues

Why is specialized equipment so expensive?

The equipment required for nanotechnology research and production is highly specialized and often custom-built. Instruments like Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs), and clean rooms with stringent environmental controls are necessary to manipulate and observe materials at the nanoscale. The maintenance and operation of such equipment also require specialized knowledge, further adding to the cost.
