The aim of ALISI is to establish and operate well-equipped regional R&D centers developing diagnostic methods and technologies focused on the micro and nano worlds. Project preparation and implementation is administered by the Institute of Scientific Instruments of ASCR. The professional orientation of ALISI is based on the more than fifty year tradition of this institute. The institute successfully develops the fields of diagnostics and technologies using the methods of electron microscopy and lithography, magnetic resonance, laser interferometry, electron and laser beam welding, thin film deposition by magnetron sputtering, cryogenics, and construction of new scientific instruments. Results of its scientific work are used by partners active not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. Due to its focus on applications, the existence of this center will be a new impetus towards broadening cooperation with Czech as well as abroad industrial partners, universities, medical facilities and R&D institutes. and Bohdan Růžička.
