摘要

This paper describes the strategy underpinning the formation and operation of the Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Research Facility (AMMRF). The governance and funding of the organisation are described and the advantages and achievements of a nationally coordinated facility for microscopy and microanalysis are set out. Selected data are presented that benchmark the performance of the facility, describe the economic impact and demonstrate the impact on the quality of research outcomes as a result of operating national collaborative research infrastructure for microscopy and microanalysis.
