We provide services and solutions for a wide range of academic and industrial clients.
Experts in the creation and understanding of advanced materials
Imaging and analysis of materials at lengths from the sub-millimetre to the atomic scale.
Our expertise is focused around the application of electron and ion microscopes. Our research has advanced the understanding of structure-property relationships in important technological materials including nanomagnetic structures, semiconductor devices, thin film optical coatings, oxide materials, including ferroelectrics, advanced metal alloys and polymer films & devices.
We are part of the Materials and Condensed Matter Physics research group
Enabling vision in nanomaterials
We specialise in the creation and understanding of advanced materials whose properties depend on elements of structure at lengths from the single atomic scale upwards.
World leading facilities
We operate a suite of highly advanced microscopes using light, atomic forces, ions and electrons to observe and measure the physical, chemical, electronic and magnetic structure of material systems.
