I.C.L. Imaging Unit

9 Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PD


This is the home page of the I.C.L. Imaging Unit. It is located in the largely Victorian building at 9 Parks Road, which is almost opposite the junction of Parks Road and South Parks Road. Here is a map to help you find us.

The Imaging Unit is in Room 20, on the first floor at the back of the building, and provides a comprehensive photographic service to the laboratory.

The turnaround time for photographic work depends on its volume and complexity, but generally orders for up to 20 slides can normally be ready for the end of the next day if submitted by 1400 hrs.

Slides and prints can be produced in monochrome or full colour, with line drawings being reproduced as blue diazo slides, unless otherwise requested.

Both colour and black and white prints are available in a range of sizes. A list is provided in the reception area at 9 Parks Road, which is located on the ground floor, just to the left of the entrance hall, outside Dr. Watkin's office. Documents for copying may be left, and completed work collected from here during the hours the building is open, normally 0830 to 1700, Monday to Friday.

We also have a Digital Imaging Service. Click here for details.

J. Watkin, and Dr. A. M. Chippindale. The building also houses the electron microscope and the atomic force microscope, which is looked after by the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory.
