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单元，以扩展我们的测量和成像能力，超越现有的时间和长度尺度，并成为世界领先的中心。这一目标现已实现。我们研究的国际影响力得到了高等教育领域最负盛名的奖项的认可，即高等教育和继续教育女王周年奖（2012-2014），该奖项旨在表彰“电力，运输和其他关键行业关键材料的X射线成像新技术”。“此外，我们刚刚获得了HEFCE和EPSRC的1800万英镑和420万英镑的资本投资，以实现我们仪器的一步跳跃。PG的更新将使我们能够发明新的，并开发新兴的技术，在3D事件中看到从未见过这样的方式。这将最大限度地发挥资本投资的效益，将X射线和电子成像结合在一起，以检查材料在苛刻环境下的行为。许多仪器将是全新的。PG将使我们能够拥有一支由数学家、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，以探索新的机制并开展新的科学研究。例如，通常X光照片是在白色中以黑色收集的（就像医院中的X光照片一样）。我们已经开发出一种可以看到“颜色”的探测器。这将使我们能够在3D图像中“看到"物体的组成。通常，X射线成像可以看到不同的相，但不能看到构成材料的颗粒。最近，我们与丹麦和格勒诺布尔欧洲同步加速器的科学家们一起开发了一种非破坏性地观察样品中不同颗粒的方法。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做到这一点的实验室系统。最后，我们最近获得了5个EPSRC博士培训中心，我们将通过PG开发的成像技术培训这些博士生。
