This database is intended for information purposes only. Each participating institution has included instruments in the database in a complete and accurate manner as best as possible given the available information. Details of instruments located at public or private organizations are provided so that potential users can contact relevant officers in charge for more information or necessary services. The National Science Foundation, as a funding agency, assumes no responsibility or liability for the use of instruments and information contained within the database by others.
Some aspects of the database, including the full text of items, will only be shared with registered users and staff who have been given authorized access. Public users will be directed to register with the database to request full access for specific instruments.
