The Imaging and Analysis Centre is one of the Natural History Museum's scientific laboratories. We wanted to share some of the amazing things we get up to.

ALT Museum sites will be closed to the public from 13.00 on Tuesday 17 March. We aim to reopen in early summer. Our decision follows the advice of Public Health England to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have bought tickets for an exhibition, they will remain valid once we reopen. If you have bought tickets for an event, we will email you with further information. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Got a lot of great data (and memories) from this @NikonMetrology scanner at @NHM_IAC. Fare thee well 😢

Will be some time before we can step through the doors @nhm_london again. 😥 Here's a Komodo dragon and giant salamander to keep us going. #MuseumFromHome

The @NHM_London was looking fairly glorious in the afternoon sunshine yesterday 🙌 Looks like it will be vacant for a while now... (in my mind the collections will 100% come to life and escape their display cases, drawers and cabinets whilst we're all at home...) 🦒🦏🦖🦅🦑🦋🐚🐾

I am not on the surface of an asteroid, but I can feel very well the characteristic smell the CM chondrite I am working on for today. It's so distinctive and strong! ☄️

Today it's training day. Learning how to use the new microprobe @NHM_IAC a JEOL 8530F.
I am so excited!! :) :)

Learnt lots dabbling in micro-CT, and enjoyed playing with molluscs for the first time in aaaaages on this cool paper nature.com/articles/s41598-0… with @Lauren_hSR @STWilliams_NHM @farahak and the @NHM_IAC !

The paper is now available #openaccess in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. The new dataset of Ivuna bulk chemical data produced @NHM_IAC and new average Ivuna bulk composition.
Preprint of our new paper looking at how terrestrial environments have altered the mineralogy & chemistry of Ivuna, type specimen of the rare CI carbonaceous chondrite meteorites.

The paper also contains new dataset of Ivuna bulk chemical data produced @NHM_IAC and new average Ivuna bulk composition produced using new and previously published data after statistical treatment.

We’re set up to go! Come down to the Images of Nature Gallery by the Museum of the Moon and say hello. :)

Snapshot of #HeritageScience - video got a gasp! Amazing micro CT scanning of @britishmuseum rosary bead by @NHM_IAC as part of research by Art Gallery Ontario #internationalheritage

Fantastic to see the new cast of Mylodon darwinii being presented to the Charles Darwin museum. So excited that an output of the Darwin's Fossil Mammal project made it all the way to Argentina! @NHM_IAC @ariadnemaze @10Tackles
Day 5 in Argentina: Punta Alta. First stop: the Charles Darwin museum. Proud to present a cast of the holotype mandible of Mylodon darwinii to the museum. Scanned as part of our digitisation project. @NHM_Digitise @NHM_Science

Marvellous micrometeorite: found on a meteorite hunt in the Nubian desert, a speck of the cosmic dust spiralling into the Sun, containing exquisitely unusual Al-Cu-Fe alloy. Authors include Jon Spratt @NHM_IAC @NHM_Meteorites @NHM_London nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

3D-scanning a dinosaur is a big job. Recently a team from the Museum spent several days and nights working on a Mantellisaurus skeleton.
@Tweetisaurus and @palaeojoe told us why they're sharing the data from this important dinsoaur. #MantelliScan nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2019…

The #dragonfly larva 3D model made by @NHM_IAC is on @sketchfab here: skfb.ly/6AKrQ and the specimen record is on the @NHM_London data portal here: data.nhm.ac.uk/object/7fa065…

Oh look what @NHM_IAC made @ento_ben - most jealous - 3D printed dragonfly larva #3Dprinting #entomology #odonata
