Muromachi Microwave Fixation System
The Muromachi microwave fixation system offers an effective way to inactivate these enzymes in the intact specimen.
Bruker BioSpec Avance III 94/20 Preclinical MRI
The MRI facility at the UNSW’s BRIL is one of the most powerful small-animal MRIs in Australia and is is able to provide users with state-of-the-art small animal and sample imaging and MRI biomarker assessment. As part of the National Imaging Facility the scanner can be accessed by researchers from institutions from all over the country.
Inveon MicroPET-CT
The Inveon μCT uses multiple axial x-rays of the animal to generate cross-sectional information or 3-dimensional reconstructions of the animal or parts of the animal. The μPET uses an LSO detector for fast scintillation decay time, high light output and effective atomic number.
IVIS Lumina and IVIS SpectrumCT
The IVIS Lumina provides a highly sensitive means to image fluorescent and/or bioluminescent reporters in vivo and in vitro. The IVIS SpectrumCT expands upon optical imaging capabilities as well as providing a microCT capability for anatomical referencing.

WHS Committee
MWAC has what is known as a Level 3 Health and Safety Consultation Committee. The purpose of the committee is to enable communication of safety issues between management, staff, students and visitors.
Dr Richard Webster
Position: Research Associate
Facility:
Electron Microscope Unit
Category: Academic Staff
Education
PhD Physics, University of Bristol, UK (2015)
MSci Physics, University of Bristol, UK (2011)
Role
To operate the newly purchased JEOL F200 microscope, design and implement research experiments in collaboration with researchers across the University in the area of advanced transmission electron microscopy, including high-resolution imaging, electron diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis, and other imaging and analysis modes where applicable.
Research Interests
My interests lie in the application of electron microscopy methods to determine composition, structure and defect nature of semiconductors, mainly III-nitrides. My present research includes the application of electron microscopy to InxGa1-xN nanorods and films for use in LED and transistor devices.

Role and Interests
My role is to conduct collaborative research and provide training and support to clients in a broad range of sample preparation techniques for both biological and material specimens. For specimen analysis I am able to provide training and support in scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
I have a particular interest in the cryo-transmission electron microscopy.
Shandon Exceisior ES Tissue Processor
Shandon Excelsior ES Tissue Processor is used for automated fixation, dehydration, clearing and wax infiltration of specimens prior to paraffin embedding and sectioning. Subsequent processing like staining and immunostaining can then be performed on processed specimen for pathology diagnosis or research. You can process up to 222 samples at once, across 3 level of organised baskets. The samples are hold into specimen cassettes and each level of organised basket can contain up to 74 cassettes.
