The CMM is The University of Queensland's electron and X-ray microscopy and microanalysis core facility and the Queensland node of the National Microscopy and Microanalysis Research Network (AMMRF). The platforms goals are to facilitate and provide research excellence through a focus on providing world-class facilities matched with an equally high level of expertise thereby meeting the characterisation requirements of local and national researchers and industry. It does this via a concept of supporting discovery from user inception of experiments to publication/outcomes through excellence in consultation, training, measurement and finally analysis.

The CMM comprises 26 academic, research, technical and administrative staff supporting a diverse range of instrument platforms including electron microscopy and microanalysis, X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy and novel imaging modalities. The CMM operates on four main sites on the St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland.
