The Imaging and Analysis Center (IAC) at the Princeton Materials Institute (PMI) provides cutting-edge instrumentation and expertise for the characterization of hard and soft materials, including biological specimens. The center is crucial in advancing research and education at Princeton University and beyond. The IAC is closely connected to the Princeton Center for Complex Materials [Princeton's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (PCCM), a prominent research hub funded by the National Science Foundation. Thanks to over 25 years of continuous support from the University, the National Science Foundation, and the State of New Jersey, among others, the IAC has become the most prominent central facility at Princeton and a world-leading center for advanced materials characterization.
