  • ALF
    ALF provides quick, intuitive, rapid access for the alignment and assessment of single crystals for users of the main ISIS excitation instruments and the WISH diffractometer.
  • Crisp
    Crisp is the original neutron reflectometer instrument at ISIS and was designed for high resolution studies of a wide range of interfacial phenomena.
  • Engin-X
    ENGIN-X is a dedicated engineering science facility at ISIS. The beamline is optimized for the measurement of strain, and thus stress, deep within a crystalline material, using the atomic lattice planes as an atomic 'strain gauge'.
  • GEM
    The General Materials Diffractometer (GEM) is used for high intensity, high resolution neutron diffraction and pair distribution function experiments to study the structure of crystalline powders and amorphous materials.
  • HRPD
    The High Resolution Powder Diffractometer, HRPD, is closing its doors for an upgrade between 2025 and 2028.
  • A schematic of the instrument layout of INES, showing the position of the detectors relative to the sample position.
    INES
    Neutron diffraction and elemental analysis through neutron resonance absorption spectroscopy.
  • Iris
    High resolution quasi-elastic and inelastic neutron scattering spectrometer with long d-spacing diffraction capabilities
  • Loq
    LOQ may be used to investigate the shape and size of large molecules, small particles or porous materials with dimensions in the range of 1 - 100nm. Length scales of up to 400nm can be probed in highly anisotropic systems.
  • MAPS
    MAPS has changed the way the neutron community thinks about inelastic neutron scattering.
  • MARI
    MARI is a chopper spectrometer with continuous detector bank coverage ranging from 3° to 134° degrees.
  • Merlin
    Merlin
    Merlin is a high count rate, medium energy resolution, direct geometry chopper spectrometer.
  • OSIRIS
    Osiris
    OSIRIS is a spectrometer optimised for very low energy studies and long wavelength diffraction. These studies can provide information on relatively slow motions in materials such as diffusion in liquids and the movement of protons in batteries.
  • The PEARL instrument (CAD rendering), showing the 90 degree and low angle detector banks.
    PEARL
    ISIS' dedicated high-pressure powder diffraction instrument
  • Polaris
    High intensity, medium resolution powder diffractometer.
  • SANDALS
    SANDALS is a diffractometer especially built for investigating the structure of liquids and amorphous materials.
  • Surf
    SURF is one of the leading instruments in the world for liquid interface research.
  • Overview of SXD instrument
    SXD
    ISIS' dedicated single-crystal Laue diffractometer
  • Tosca
    TOSCA is an indirect geometry spectrometer optimised for the study of molecular vibrations in the solid state.
  • Vesuvio
    Vesuvio is a unique neutron spectrometer, which uses the high intensity of neutrons in the eV energy range (epi-thermal neutrons) to mass-separate the spectra into a collection of nuclear momentum distributions.
