About Microstructural Analysis Unit (MAU)

The Microstructural Analysis Unit (MAU) is a centralised large equipment facility within the Faculty of Science that was established in 1993 to underpin high quality research and support a broad range of postgraduate and undergraduate teaching programs.

This centre provides researchers in both the physical and biological sciences with access to a comprehensive array of state-of-the-art analytical microscopy tools as well as materials analysis and fabrication equipment.

Research expertise and advanced training are provided in advanced microscopy and materials characterisation techniques by a highly experienced team of four resident professional staff.

In 2009 the MAU completed a major refurbishment which included the addition of a number of new characterisation nodes, making it a hub for multi-disciplinary research within UTS-Science. A core mission of the Centre is to strengthen the nexus between UTS researchers and industry.
