Advanced Characterisation Laboratories for Materials & Manufacturing (ACLMM)
UCL Mechanical Engineering's Advanced Characterisation Laboratory for Materials & Manufacturing (ACLMM) brings together materials testing, materials characterisation and microscopy under one roof. Based in the sub-basement of Roberts Engineering Building, the combined facility is paired with a sample preparation room that offers chemical needs and provides a dedicated space for preparing samples prior to conducting tests and analysis.
Microscopy Suite
The recent introduction of the new Microscopy imaging suite brought in a range of equipment tailored for research and educational purposes.
The suite offers two Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs) – the Gemini 360 and Evo 10, both equipped with unique additional features. For X-ray imaging, the Nikon Micro-CT is available, complemented by the CT Pro 3D software for reconstruction and Avizo for subsequent data post-processing.
