Our previous platform grant (PG) was aimed at developing the residual stress and imaging unit to extend our measurement and imaging capability beyond existing time and length scales and to become a world leading centre. This has now been achieved. The international impact of our research was recognised by the award of the most prestigious prize in the HE sector, the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education (2012-2014) for "New Techniques in X-Ray Imaging of Materials Critical for Power, Transport and Other Key Industries." Further we have just been awarded £18m by HEFCE and £4.2m by EPSRC for capital investment to achieve a step jump in our instrumentation.This PG renewal will enable us to invent new, and develop emerging, techniques to see in 3D events that have never been seen this way before. This will maximise the benefit of the capital investment bringing together X-ray and electron imaging to examine materials behaviour under demanding environments. Many of the instruments will be completely new. The PG will enable us to have a multidisciplinary team of mathematicians, detector experts, instrument developers and applications materials scientists to explore new regimes and undertake new science. For example, normally X-rays pictures are collected in black in white (just like the x-ray radiographs in hospitals). We have developed a detector that can see in 'colour'. This will enable us to 'see' the composition of the objects in our 3D images. Normally X-ray imaging can see different phases but not the grains making up the materials. Recently together with scientists in Denmark and at the European Synchrotron in Grenoble we have developed a method to see the different grains inside a sample non-destructively. Currently this must be done using synchrotron X-rays at large facilities - we will develop a laboratory system capable of this. Finally we have recently been awarded an 5 x EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training and we will train these PhD students in the imaging techniques we develop through the PG.

我们之前的平台资助（PG）旨在开发残余应力和成像装置，以将我们的测量和成像能力扩展到现有的时间和长度尺度之外，并成为世界领先的中心。我们的研究现已实现了国际影响。因“对电力、交通和运输至关重要的材料的 X 射线成像新技术”而荣获高等教育领域最负盛名的奖项——女王高等教育和继续教育周年奖（2012-2014 年）其他关键行业。”此外，我们刚刚获得了 HEFCE 的 1800 万英镑和 EPSRC 的 420 万英镑的资本投资，以实现我们仪器的跨越式发展。这次 PG 更新将使我们能够发明新的、开发新兴的技术，以实现我们的仪器仪表的飞跃。这将最大限度地发挥资本投资的优势，将 X 射线和电子成像结合起来，在苛刻的环境下检查材料的行为。 PG 将启用许多全新的仪器。我们要拥有由数学家、探测器专家、仪器开发人员和应用材料科学家组成的多学科团队，探索新机制并开展新科学。例如，通常以黑白形式收集 X 射线照片（就像医院的 X 射线照片）。我们开发了一种可以看到“颜色”的探测器，这将使我们能够在 3D 图像中“看到”物体的成分。最近，X 射线成像可以看到不同的相，但看不到构成材料的颗粒。与丹麦科学家一起在格勒诺布尔的欧洲同步加速器，我们开发了一种非破坏性地观察样品内不同颗粒的方法，目前这必须在大型设施中使用同步加速器 X 射线来完成 - 我们将开发一个能够实现这一点的实验室系统。最近被授予 5 个 EPSRC 博士培训中心，我们将培训这些博士生使用我们通过 PG 开发的成像技术。
