The next Inside Diamond open day will feature stalls and activities, a short introduction to Diamond and a tour of the machine. We expect the visit will last around two and a half hours. Booking for open days opens 6-8 weeks in advance of the event. Click here for more details.
This workshop will cover a range of topics including tomography, diffraction imaging, XRF and infrared. There will also be talks on the new and upcoming facilities available in this area at Diamond.
Organisers: Michael Drakopoulos and Burkhard Kaulich
The programme below indicates who is speaking when, on what topic. Talk titles for each session will follow shortly.
