Thank you

Thank you to everyone who attended last week's second Industrial Solutions Breakfast at Plymouth University. Prior to our keynote speakers taking the floor, there was the pleasant buzz of introductions and conversation throughout our conference suite in the Rolle Building; the mark of a useful event.

James Strongman of PetroLab described the growth of this small Cornish business over the last 10 years, culminating in the development of a new service, using electron microscopy. He demonstrated how having access to the EMC at Plymouth University, using a KTP, has enabled his company to investigate this potential new service and make it a development reality.

Keith Taylor of Oxford Instruments gave the delegates an insight into the state-of-the-art equipment currently in use, and available for use by small companies in the south-west, at Plymouth University.

Following our two speakers, the delegates were given a tour of the EMC, to see in practice how electron microscopy can solve some of the issues facing those in the geology, mining and recycling industries. The two delegates who brought samples for analysis were also able to discuss their particular requirements in detail.

The next Industrial Solutions breakfast is scheduled for Thursday 3 April - more details to follow...,
