Hercules is an EPSRC funded facility for correlative analysis of crystals in 3D. The facility has a unique combination of x-ray and electron analysis techniques and powerful software to correlate data sets and provide unique insights to material.
The project is a collaboration across the college of Science and Engineering at University of Leicester aiming to provide an open, easy to access facility for users both in Leicester and across the UK.
As well as celebrating the arrival of the new equipment, we will host a series of talks from leading academic and industry speakers covering the application of Electron and X-ray microscopy to a variety of fields.
The day will also include the opportunity to tour of the facility and see the capability of the brand new Zeiss CrystalCT and the Crossbeam Laser FIB.
