The Department of Geology at the University of Puget Sound will purchase an energy-dispersive quantitative X-ray microanalysis system with image processing capabilities to be mounted on an existing scanning electron microscope. This instrumentation will be integrated into the undergraduate geology curriculum at all levels above the introductory courses and will be used for student and student-faculty research projects. The equipment will allow students to analyze the chemical composition of very small regions of rock and mineral samples and thus assist in the identification and characterization of the samples. A modern laboratory facility now houses the University's electron microscope and will house the new system.

普吉特海湾大学地质系将购买一个具有图像处理能力的能量色散定量x射线微分析系统，安装在现有的扫描电子显微镜上。该仪器将被整合到本科地质学入门课程以上的所有级别的课程中，并将用于学生和学生-教师的研究项目。该设备将允许学生分析非常小区域的岩石和矿物样品的化学成分，从而协助鉴定和表征样品。一个现代化的实验室设施现在容纳了大学的电子显微镜，并将容纳新系统。
