IIT Madras has established the National Facility for Atom Probe Tomography (NFAPT) which houses a state of art atom probe tomography "Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP 5000 XR)" along with "Helios Dual Beam Scanning Electron Microscope with Focussed Ion Beam (FIB)" for LEAP sample preparation. IIT Bombay, as a founding partner institute, has a remote terminal for the operation of the instrument and software for the analysis of the data after data acquisition.
This is the first remotely operable LEAP facility in the world. Any researcher in India can use the facility by contacting the NFAPT management. More details can be found on https://nfapt.iitm.ac.in IIT Bombay users should submit the proposals for measurement to the Facility Management Committee chaired by head of SAIF/CRNTS as given below.

         About National Facility for Atom Probe Tomography (NFAPT) Atom probe tomography (APT) exhibits unique advantages and capabilities such as atomic resolution (lateral resolution : 0 . 3 - 0 . 5 nm and depth resolution 0 . 1 - 0 . 3 nm) , 3 D information about the position of the each atom in the analysed sample and chemical sensitivity down to atomic parts per million . The laser assisted LEAP 5000 XR extends the advantages to characterize range of materials with improved detection sensitivity and efficiency making this as a versatile atom probe .
