    About The Area

    The University of Western Australia is a research-intensive institution with goals that include supporting influential research and the training of students and staff in relevant skills. Its research and development infrastructure are key to supporting these goals. In that context, the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) is the University's microscopy core facility.

The two microprobes are part of a larger geoscience capability that includes electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, FIB-SEM), secondary ion mass spectrometry, laser ablation ICP-MS, X-ray CT, and scanning probe microscopy. The Centre also supports researchers in engineering, science, and health.
