Relativistic Ultrafast Electron and Diffraction Imaging facility (RUEDI)
RUEDI will be a truly unique instrument. Its ultrafast capabilities will allow structural changes in material to be observed and measured in time-resolved experiments for the first time. RUEDI will support multi-disciplinary research with five scientific themes – Dynamics of…

Chromatic Aberration-Corrected Electron Microscope
Knoll, the first chromatic aberration-corrected electron microscope in the UK, will push the current resolution limits for biological samples by correcting energy variations in the electron beam. This allows detailed imaging of thicker and liquid samples, benefiting biology by enabling…

Biophotonic Correlative Optical Platform
Biophotonic Correlative Optical Platform (BioCOP) is the UK’s first multimodular optical microscope for high-performance imaging of biological samples across multiple length- and timescales.

Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy (STED)
We are from investigating how cells communicate with one another, to understand more complex structures such as those found in organoid and tissue formation.

High Resolution imaging with secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)
Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is a highly sensitive analytical technique offering detailed chemical composition analysis in 3D space with subcellular resolution.
