The AIR provides consultation and first line support in a wide range of Bio-imaging technologies in the IGMM. We also strive to be innovators and through participation in interdisciplinary partnerships such as ESRIC (the Edinburgh Super-resolution Interdisciplinary Consortium - together with Heriot Watt) and others. We provide scientific consultation, access to and training for a range of BioImaging technologies including: Confocal Microscopy, Super-resolution imaging, Light Sheet imaging, Fast...

Provides Confocal, SR, FLIM and Electron microscopy resources to the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre.

In Vitro imaging of embryos and cells that do not tolerate transport to external core facilities.

On site imaging allows researchers to multitask during longer duration sessions.

ACTRIS is a pan-European initiative to produce long-term, high-quality observations of aerosols, clouds and trace gases across a network of European sites. Societal and environmental challenges, such as air quality, health, sustainability and climate change, increasingly require a diverse range of measurements to underpin policy initiatives. ACTRIS will help to solve such challenges by providing a platform for researchers to combine their efforts more effectively, and by providing observational...

The Airborne Geosciences Facility was established to support environmental & geoscientific research and teaching through the development, integration and operation of advanced airborne sensing technologies deployed on both manned and unmanned aircraft. We operate our own ECO-Dimona light aircraft alongside a fleet of small unmanned aircraft systems, and a suite of remote sensing and atmospheric instruments. Our stated goal is to provide the core capability to promote and develop an...

Anvil provides a platform to enable researchers to test their software automatically. Regular Testing, Robust Software.  Further developments will enable testing on HPC infrastructures. Providing testing for research software enables better research as the quality of the software will be improved. Providing the links to testing on HPC and commercial clouds is a unique offering and is unlikely to be provided by others as it is niche. 

Apocrita is a 5000+ core heterogeneous high performance computing cluster owned by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). The cluster is managed by the Research IT team of IT Services. It was established in 2012 by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as one of the 5 regional Tier-2 Computing Centres of Excellence, through the MidPlus consortium (the universities of Birmingham, Nottingham, Warwick and QMUL) The cluster has been repeatedly expanded through smaller...

Located in the Materials Analysis Laboratory (D242) of the Dawson Building, the Department of Archaeology has built up an equipment centre to facilitate the study of archaeological artefacts and materials. The centre supports a commercial research arm DARC run by Dr Kamal Badresharny and houses a number of analytical facilities: • Hitachi TM3000 SEM, with Oxford instruments EDAX • Bruker tracer 5i Portable XRF • Perkin Elmer Spectrum 2 FTIR • Camspec 17330 UV-Vis Spectrometer • Konica Minolta...

ARCHER is the UK National Supercomputing Service. It allows researchers to run calculations and simulations that require a large number of processing cores working in parallel. The computer demands for such simulations far exceed the computer power typically available to an institution like ours (e.g. a local cluster). ARCHER allows us to run ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere models that are at the cutting edge of the field. Generally, facilities like ARCHER enable the UK to be (and to remain)...

The Archives Hub brings together descriptions of thousands of the UK’s archive collections. Representing over 370 institutions across the country, it is an effective way to discover unique and often little-known sources to support research. New descriptions are added every week, often representing collections being made available for the first time. Researchers can use the Hub to instantly scan the archival landscape and bring together diverse sources held in repositories across the country. The...
