The Hounsfield Facility is a world leading multidisciplinary initiative involving researchers from the Schools of Computer Science, Maths, Engineering and Biosciences at the University of Nottingham's Centre for Plant Integrative Biology (CPIB). We employ ‘state-of-the-art’, 3D, non-destructive microCT (X-ray) technologies and innovative image analysis techniques to explore and quantify the internal architecture of biomaterials and support research into environmental sustainability and global food security.

In addition to our academic research, we offer bespoke quantification and analytical services to both academic and commercial research projects.
