Facilities
The AMMRF – your partner of choice for microscopy, microanalysis and image analysis at the atomic, molecular and cellular scale
Operating in nodes located in major capital cities (Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and Sydney) with links to smaller units in specialist facilities, the Facility provides access to a vast array of instrumentation that is accessible to all Australian publicly funded researchers on the basis of merit and a nominal fee schedule.
The techniques available on the instruments are wide-ranging and can be applied to an extremely broad range of research fields from the life sciences, such as cell biology, to materials science and mineralogy, polymer chemistry, engineering, nanotechnology, environmental sciences, and investigations of cultural artefacts. This diversity of instrumentation and research fields, along with the level of expertise, makes for a highly dynamic and vibrant facility. Our staff are always happy to help users find the right technique to answer their research questions.
