The Nanocharacterisation Laboratory offers advanced imaging capabilities through AFM and optical profilometry, enabling hierarchical imaging that reveals structures at various length scales. The lab's instruments support imaging sizes from single molecules to large bulk objects, delivering extremely high resolution in all directions for comprehensive analysis across different dimensions. You can find some exemplar studies from our lab below.
