Case studies

The instrumentation available within º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Materials Characterisation Centre (LMCC) can be used to solve a wide range of industrial and academic problems. The case studies below provide real-world examples of how the equipment can be used.

This section highlights some of the capability available within LMCC. If we do not have a case study this does not mean, we cannot carry out the analysis. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
