Abstract

The reconstruction of the domestic scientific instrumentation is one of the priorities of the scientific and production policy. Its solution involves studying the past and current situation in this industry, the consequences of the transition to the market and related changes in the technological base of science. In the article, these phenomena are considered based on the specifics of science as a type of activity, reflected in the features of the production of scientific instruments: its small scalability, the variability of the nomenclature, and the need to maintain a technological reserve. It is shown that the shortage of scientific instruments is historically inherent in Russian science. Changes in the composition, structure and specialization of companies that were previously part of the USSR Ministry of Natural Resources and academic instrumentation organizations are traced. A general assessment of the measures taken in recent years to restore scientific instrumentation is given. Their tactical orientation to the detriment of the strategic one is noted. The article will be of interest to specialists in the field of economics of science and innovation, production management and scientific instrumentation.
