Central Materials Analysis Laboratory

The Central Materials Analysis Laboratory (CMAL), formerly known as CMO Central Laboratory, changed its name in 1999 after the research institutes MESA and CMO merged to form MESA⁺.

At CMAL materials analysis is performed both for participants of MESA⁺ and for external clients. Analysis is restricted to materials in the solid-state and samples supplied by our clients are analysed on their surface and internal structure using techniques like XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy). For X-ray diffraction analysis you can use the facilities and experience of DANNALAB which is also situated in the CMAL building.

The main task of the CMA Laboratory is focused on analysis, but also some research is carried out. This research can consist of supporting a scientist of MESA⁺ or result from projects in which CMAL is participating.
