These instruments are designed to provide fundamental insights into physical and biological systems though characterisation and fabrication of structures at nanometre length scales. These versatile platforms will support a wide range of projects covering three national research priority areas. These range from the characterisation of light alloys for improving and building Australia's Aluminium, Magnesium and Titanium alloy industries, to the study of aerosol particles for improved pulmonary drug delivery for asthma patients, the development of advanced solar cells and the study of the integrated behaviour of the soil-microbe system for sustainable agriculture.

这些仪器的设计目的是通过表征和制造纳米尺度的结构来提供对物理和生物系统的基本见解。这些多功能平台将支持涵盖三个国家研究优先领域的广泛项目。从改善和建设澳大利亚的铝、镁和钛合金工业的轻合金的特性，到研究用于改善哮喘患者肺部药物输送的气雾剂颗粒，开发先进的太阳能电池，以及研究土壤-微生物系统的综合行为，以促进可持续农业。
