In research, progress begins with accurate data. At Omniscan, we support universities and scientific institutions across the UK by providing advanced metrology and surface inspection systems that help transform experimental ideas into verified results.
From early-stage feasibility studies to full-scale collaborative projects, our systems are trusted tools in academic laboratories where reliability, flexibility, and usability are essential.
Built for Experimental Environments
Unlike industrial production where parameters are fixed, academic research demands adaptability. Omniscan’s equipment is designed to handle the variability of experimental work – whether you’re analysing novel materials, testing component prototypes, or validating hypotheses.
Our systems accommodate both routine testing and highly specialised setups, with options for contact and non-contact surface measurement, interferometry, and 3D profiling.
Supporting Scientific Exploration
Our technology enables researchers to explore questions that demand quantifiable, high-resolution surface data:
- What microstructures emerge in new alloy compositions?
- How does surface roughness affect biocompatibility in implants?
- Can a novel fabrication method reduce surface defects in optics?
Whether in materials science, engineering, life sciences or physics, surface characterisation is often the missing link between theory and result – and Omniscan helps bridge that gap.
Collaborative and Practical
Omniscan understands the academic environment. We offer:
- On-site demonstrations and workshops to support student learning and researcher training
- Collaborative project support, including grant applications and technical consultation
- Custom setup guidance for labs working with unique or evolving materials and components
We aim to be more than a supplier – we’re a technology partner for scientific progress.
Scalable for Teaching and Research
From undergraduate labs to doctoral research programmes, Omniscan solutions scale with your needs. Entry-level systems offer powerful measurement capabilities for teaching environments, while our advanced platforms support peer-reviewed research and industrial collaboration.
We also provide detailed documentation, reference standards, and full traceability to ensure your data meets academic and publication standards.
Trusted Across UK Academia
Leading universities, national labs, and R&D hubs already rely on Omniscan for their precision measurement needs. Our equipment is used in studies that shape policy, inform innovation, and contribute to international research initiatives.
