The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.

Unique opportunity to contribute to the long term conservation of Australia’s most iconic landmark: The Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Dingo sees through heavy corrosion to help dentify an historic firearm.

The release of the Oppenheimer film, the story of the director of the Manhattan Project,  has prompted many people to go online and search for an explanation of the difference between fission and fusion, two fundamental scientific concepts.

Today The Australian ran a story entitled “Fears for indigenous lands as foreign nuclear waste headed our way”, 18 September 2018. ANSTO was not contacted in relation to the article, but can provide the following information in response which can be attributed to a spokesperson.

Using nuclear techniques to establish the great antiquity of Aboriginal culture: World Heritage Listing for Budj Bim Cultural Landscape.

Read about an ANSTO scientist and their work to prepare for a school project or interview.

The Infrared microspectroscopy microscopes can record spectra from a range of different samples; from thin microtomed sections to polished blocks and embedded particles. This section highlights the types of samples that can be analysed using the IRM beamline

The nature of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) present a fascinating paradox in space exploration. Their strength in radiation detection becomes their weakness in space operations, exposing an Achilles' heel for NASA. Yet, these same devices monitor radiation doses received by humans on earth and in space.
