Facilities

The Albert Crewe Centre provides services to local, national and international industries to support your research and analytical needs.

We offer full hands-on training to permit independent use, or can provide materials characterisation services to investigate morphology, microstructure and chemical composition using STEM, SEM and FIB-SEM.
