The program of the ASU Facility for High Resolution Electron Microscopy, within the Center for Solid State Science, maintains a balance between the two main functions of the Facility operation. The program of developmental research, on the one hand, involves the exploration of new possibilities for instrumentation and operational techniques, and for these purposes new types of microscopes are being built, tested and further evaluated. On the other hand the Facility provides a service for many user groups, to make the most advanced current techniques and operational modes accessible for their research and to establish and maintain the highest standards of performance and interpretation in high resolution electron microscopy and associated techniques. The electron microscopes currently used in the Facility for this latter purpose are now out-dated, overworked and inadequate in relation to the quality and quality of the work demanded of them. A new microscope which is more appropriate for the purpose will be acquired. The new microscope is essential also in relation to the educational role of the Facility. Through its annual Schools and Workshops and continuing interactions with the scientific community the Facility has considerable impact on the standards of electron microscopy practice and must maintain its instrumentation at, or beyond, the state of the art in order to perform this function adequately.

固态科学中心内的ASU设施计划的高分辨率电子显微镜计划保持平衡。 一方面，发展研究计划涉及探索仪器和操作技术的新可能性，为此，正在建立，测试和进一步评估新的显微镜。 另一方面，该设施为许多用户群体提供了服务，以使其研究最先进的当前技术和操作模式，并在高分辨率电子显微镜和相关技术中建立和维持最高的性能和解释标准。 目前为后一个目的中用于该设施中的电子显微镜现在已经过时，劳累过时，并且与所需工作的质量和质量相关。 将获取更适合目的的新显微镜。 与该设施的教育作用有关，新的显微镜也至关重要。 通过其年度学校和研讨会以及与科学界的持续互动，该设施对电子显微镜实践的标准产生了很大的影响，并且必须在最新情况下或以后维护其仪器，以充分执行此功能。
