Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) utilises a beam of electrons to transmit through an ultra thin specimen. The interaction between the transmitting electrons and the specimen leads to the generation of several types of signals regarding structural and chemical characteristics of the specimen material.

The scanning Kelvin probe is a non-contact, non-destructive instrument designed to measure the surface work function difference between conducting, coated, or semi-conducting materials and a metallic probe

The Centre for Corrosion Technology has accelerated environmental testing facilities available for humidity testing and neutral salt spray testing to ASTM Standard B117

Optical analysis equipment used by Sheffield Hallam University's Materials and Engineering Research Institute

Mercury porosimetry analysis is the progressive intrusion of mercury into a porous structure under controlled pressures. From the pressure versus intrusion data, the instrument generates volume and size distributions using the Washburn equation.

Mössbauer Spectroscopy has been used in research and teaching at Sheffield Hallam University for more than 30 years

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of Scanning Probe Microscopy that can be operated in air or water

The contact angle is the angle which is formed at the three-phase interface between a solid, a liquid drop and air or another gas. Such measurements can be used to determine wettability, which provides an indication of how effectively a liquid will spread over a surface.
