Advanced Materials Research Laboratory (AMRL)
The AMRL consists of two testing laboratories: materials characterisation/analysis and mechanical testing. The centre can conduct research and testing from all sectors of engineering and can offer nano-scale characterisation through to full-scale component testing. Microscopes include SEMs with EDS and WDS analysis and EBSD capabilities, and light microscopes with Dark-field, polarized light and DIC. Explore some of the systems and resources they offer users below, and be sure to check out their website for full details and the most up-to-date information.
