National Imaging FacilityNIF is a $140M project that is part of the National Research Infrastructure. NIF merges the expertise of biologists, neuroscientists, imaging researchers and clinicians, material scientists, platform engineers, and computational scientists across Australia. NIF is committed to provide open access to an array of world-leading imaging instrumentation and aptitudes to the Australian research community.
