Our pointSEMs offer high-performance scanning electron microscopy at significantly reduced investment costs compared to new devices. To help you optimally plan your investment, various financing models are available - tailored individually to your budget and project structure.
In addition to purchase by invoice, we offer customized leasing, hire purchase, and financing models in cooperation with specialized financing partners for scientific infrastructure.
With leasing, you can start using your pointSEM immediately and pay predictable, monthly installments. At the end of the term, you return the device or have the option to purchase it. A credit check by our financial service provider is required.
A classic installment purchase allows you to acquire the product immediately and pay the costs in fixed monthly installments. The duration and conditions can be individually agreed upon, subject to a credit check.
For universities and non-university research institutions, funding programs at the state, federal, and EU levels may be applicable depending on the usage concept, e.g., the German Research Foundation within the framework of the DFG Large Equipment Program. Additional public innovation and investment programs may also support the acquisition of a pointSEM, depending on the sponsor, project objective, and location.
However, please understand that we do not provide consulting on funding programs and cannot make any statements regarding individual eligibility for funding. For binding information, please contact exclusively the respective funding agencies or your responsible administrative offices.
With a lease purchase, you can use your pointSEM immediately and pay predictable monthly installments. At the end of the term, you are obligated—often by paying a final installment—to take ownership of the device. A credit check by our financial service provider is required.
With the rental option, you remain maximally flexible – for example, for project-based research, temporary laboratories, or funding periods. You only pay for the actual period of use and preserve your liquidity.
