Paul Quinn, Science Group Leader

The Imaging and Microscopy Group brings together eight experimental facilities (I08, J08, DIAD, I12, I13-1, I13-2, I14 and ePSIC) which 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. 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. Read more ...
