Research Facilities
MARC has a range of facilities for materials research in three main laboratories housed in the School of Physics building. These facilities are used to support our research programs but are also used to provide services to government and industry. Instrumentation for nuclear microscopy based on our designs has been sold to numerous overseas laboratories.
