National Imaging Facility Showcase at ANZSNM 2023
National Imaging Facility will host a Showcase at ANZSNM 2023, featuring presentations from Australia’s advanced imaging network.
The Centre of Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) is the principal shared research infrastructure facility at UWA. CMCA supports a variety of small animal imaging capabilities within its Bioimaging Facility (BIF) located in the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research on the QEII Medical Centre campus. Platforms include a 9.4T pre-clinical MRI, Bioluminescence and Fluorescence spectral imaging, and Micro-CT. These facilities are accommodated in a PC2 certified environment.
CMCA is also the Western Australian node of Microscopy Australia and in part accommodates and administers the Bioplatforms Australia nodes of Metabolomics Australia and Proteomics Australia.
As well as preclinical small animal imaging, the WA NIF node has specialised expertise in materials science. Co-located with a range of complementary analysis platforms at CMCA, we have unique experience in imaging novel samples, including artefacts from the WA Museum and specimens from Western Australia’s biodiverse natural environment.

Researchers are collaborating with NIF to study the cycles of attack and remission in MS – and determine if a novel therapy can help.
A 105-million-year-old shark vertebrae fossil and a 4,000-year-old thylacine skull are amongst the first items to be scanned on NIF’s materials investment at the University of Western Australia (UWA), building a valuable digital collection of unique national artefacts with the Museum of Western Australia.
