Not just pretty pictures, each image is part of a quest for knowledge and has a story to tell. Researchers from a wide variety of disciplines explore inner space at the micro, nano and atomic levels to answer questions and solve problems.

The Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Research Facility (AMMRF) is proud to present this collection of images from our network of centres around Australia. Our expertise and technology is available to all Australian researchers, also enabling innovation through partnerships with industry.

Understanding the properties of materials at microscopic to atomic scales is key to much scientific problem-solving, in areas as diverse as medicine, engineering and archeology. Microscopy helps us understand the world around us and design new technologies.

Look down the microscope for new sustainable materials, renewable fuels and future solutions from healthcare to engineering.

The AMMRF is a key national research infrastructure network, funded by the State Governments, the Commonwealth through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), and partner institutions.
