Paul Quinn, Science Group Leader

Update

Imaging and Microscopy is a newly formed science group, which brings together eight experimental facilities (I08, J08, DIAD, I12, I13-1, I13-2, I14 and ePSIC) with a new imaging group leader to coordinate and drive the group’s activities. These facilities use electrons and X-rays to image samples under different experimental conditions across a diverse range of length scales and time scales. Different contrast mechanisms allow for imaging of sample properties such as elemental composition, density and structure and this ability to extract image sample properties in minute detail lends itself to a wide range of scientific areas from chemistry and catalysis to environmental science, materials science, biology, medicine, and cultural heritage.
