“…These effects included significant length contraction, time dilation and an increase in mass, making further progress in resolution much more difficult and energy-intensive than initially estimated. Before computer-aided systems made the calibration of electron lenses more precise, the only way to gain images at atomic scales was to accelerate voltage up to 1000 kV and more, posing almost insurmountable problems to cost-effective operation (Lettkemann, 2013; Rose, 2009). The adoption of computer-aided systems and an increase of state funding inaugurated the last phase.…”

This article presents historical evidence for the rise of a new type of research-technology community that deviates in several respects from the social and epistemic configurations of work that Terry Shinn described in his seminal writings on the origins of the research-technology regime. The more recent type of settlers is distinguished from a nomadic type, prevalent in Shinn’s work. It is argued that, despite many configurational differences, both types constitute functional equivalents for producing and disseminating generic instrumentation. An important difference, however, is the prolonged life expectancy of settler communities, resulting in long-term upgrading cycles. On the basis of a case study on transmission electron microscopy in Germany, the article investigates social and epistemic conditions facilitating the emergence and permanent institutionalization of a settler community. It seems that material resistances, hindering nomadic research practices, as well as support from scientific/industrial elites have great impact on the formation of settler communities.
