It took us a while, but the MICRO facility at the University of Arkansas is finally up and running. We’ve spent the last six month getting our new Nikon X TH 225 ST system delivered, installed, and for us to go through a lot of training. It turns out that installing a 4.6 ton, $650,000 machine is pretty complicated.
Below are some pictures of delivery, install and training that we wanted to share, and stay tuned for updates on research and outreach activities!
