Continued progress in many areas of science depends on access to advanced modern instruments and the data they provide. Costly instruments have been shared in a number of disciplines for many years, and common patterns of shared usage have developed independently. The scientific and financial aspects of large instrument usage are discussed from the points of view of the instrument centers, the users, and the funding agencies. The instrument problem is not one problem but many, and coordinated solutions must be implemented with well-defined goals based on knowledge of the needs of the users and developers of instruments.
科学许多领域的持续进步依赖于使用先进的现代仪器及其提供的数据。多年来，昂贵的仪器已在多个学科中共享，并且形成了各自独立的共同使用模式。本文从仪器中心、用户和资助机构的角度讨论了大型仪器使用的科学和财务方面的问题。仪器问题并非单一问题，而是诸多问题，必须基于对仪器用户和开发者需求的了解，以明确的目标实施协调一致的解决方案。
