 A
new £1.3 million Centre for Advanced Imaging has been opened at
the University’s Coleraine campus. Global companies such as
Unilever Research are already lined up to benefit from the
uniquely powerful analytical and technological expertise that
has been assembled, funded by a grant from the UK Science
Research Investment Fund (SRIF) 2006-2008. At the heart of the Centre’s research facilities are two specially constructed microscopes: the world’s first cryo-dualbeam microscope – combining a focused ion beam microscope with a scanning electron microscope; and a unique atomic force/confocal microscope hybrid. They are so powerful that scientists can analyse and manipulate particles at atomic and intra-nuclear levels – and their movements and effects can be recorded using 3D and real time. The microscope technology for the new Centre has been developed in association with the FEI Company, the US-based supplier of electron microscopy tools for nanoscale research, development and commercialisation. Dr George McKerr, Director, said: “The Centre at Coleraine will become a reference lab for this type of work throughout Europe and we intend to do something rather special to help local industry and start-up companies. Watch this space.”
