electron Physical Science Imaging Center

The electron Physical Science Imaging Centre (ePSIC) is a national facility for aberration corrected electron microscopy. ePSIC was established as a collaboration between Johnson Matthey, the University of Oxford and Diamond Light Source. We provide access to state of the art transmission electron microscopes with expert support from our electron microscopy scientists.
