Research Facilities

We have some of the best Research Facilities, Laboratories and Resources in the world. Find out more about how the School of Engineering can help you with your Research, whether that be for study or business.

  • The Bioimaging Facility at Edinburgh University offers both multiphoton imaging and spectral characterisation for a wide range of samples from both biological and material sciences. This service is available to staff, students and external users.

    Our imaging and measurement techniques include:

    • Confocal Raman Spectroscopy
    • Label-Free Confocal Microscopy
      • Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS)
      • Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS)
      • Two-Photon Excitation Fluorescence (TPEF)
    • Second Harmonic Generation (SHG)
    • Atomic Force Microscopy

  • The Atomic Force Microscopy Facility at the University of Edinburgh houses a Bruker JPK NanoWizard 4XP and JPK CellHesion 200 AFM for the structural, mechanical and surface characterisation of samples across a range of environmental conditions.

    This facility is available to all researchers across the university as well as external users from other universities and industry.

  • Our research facilities are located at the William Rankine Building, within the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings Campus, in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. This building and the neighbouring Alexander Graham Bell Building host the Institute for Infrastructure and Environment.

  • The Structures Test Hall is our high-headroom lab for testing medium to large structural assemblies.

    The strong floor and reaction frame systems give great versatility in the types of test that we can carry out, and we have a state of the art Instron actuator system for applying two independent loads under precise computer control.
