The UCL Centre for Correlative X-ray Microscopy

A partner of the National Research Facility for lab-based X-ray CT (NXCT), the centre hosts a world leading suite of X-ray CT instruments, which produce high quality 3D images at different scales.

We are open to clients from outside the EIL and regularly perform work for other departments, academic institutions and businesses.

X-ray CT is uniquely non-destructive across a range of length scales, with resolution ranging from 10s nm to 10s mm, and sample sizes from 10s micron to 10s cm. Because of its non-destructive nature, it is possible to probe materials at various stages in their life cycle in response to a variety of processing or environmental conditions.

Our unit is located in the UCL Roberts Building, Torrington Place.  The Tescan UniTOM HR is located at the Advanced Propulsion Lab, Marshgate UCL East.
