Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) enables the examination of larger samples at near ambient conditions.
The MCLinc facility handles a wide range of sample types and is operated by a multidisciplinary staff qualified to address technical issues pertaining to virtually any process material. MCLinc's location at a federal facility helps to facilitate the access and utilization of other technical resources within the Oak Ridge/DOE complex.

The following instruments, in combination with 31 laboratories, 25 fume hoods, over 700 linear feet of bench space, and permits for handling hazardous, radioactive, and/or classified materials, allow MCLinc to provide a comprehensive range of technical support.
