The Hawken laboratory houses scanning electron microscopes and novel imaging instruments. There are a series of scanning electron microscopes that can examine a very broad range of sample types. Many of these instruments are capable of microanalysis using a wide variety of techniques. The laboratory houses a microprobe instrument that provides quantitative elemental analysis from polished specimens.
The Novel Imaging component of Hawken offers a range of mass spectrometry, electron beam lithography and X-Ray Fluorescence instrumentation. The mass spectrometry component is led by Dr Brett Hamilton. The EBL instrumentation and clean room are led by Dr Elliot Cheng. Craig Stoppiello leads the X-Ray Fluorescence instrumentation that is housed at the X-Ray Material Science & Spectrometry Laboratory.
