Motivation of the need for equipment
Scanning electron microscopy research is of fundamental importance and plays a primary role in the implementation of defense projects (identifying the structure and chemical composition of armor plates, armor-piercing cores, projectiles, etc.) However, the scanning electron microscope (REM-106I, manufactured in 2002) available at the CCSCNU is morally and technically outdated, which does not allow it to fully solve the tasks assigned to the university.
