The facility offers a range of services to industry, HE, charities and museums. The creation of the new laboratories has allowed the School to expand and create dedicated facilities for the non-destructive imaging and analysis of materials and artefacts to support researchers, museum creators and heritage organisations. The facility comprises of SEM/EDS/XRF, µXRF, pXRF, a comprehensive collection of light microscopes including a slide scanner, Raman spectroscopy, 3D light scanners and a 3D printer. The images and spectral analysis can be used to show how archaeological artefacts were used, where they were produced and their exact function.
