Expanded Scanning Electron Microscopy Instruction for Undergraduates

学生在一个正在进行的课程介绍了全方位的 现代扫描电子显微镜的能力和学生在 矿物学和岩石学课程通过以下方式了解这些能力： 几个实验室练习。 在一门新课程中，学生们得到了手- 凭借丰富的经验， 实验室工作 传播领域的背景水平 电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜使学生 向未来的雇主展示更有利的证书。 此外，学生有技术能力，使他们能够 追求研究生院或医学院研究的目标。 的 受赠人为该项目提供的资金超过了NSF 奖

Students in an ongoing course are introduced to the full range of capabilities of a modern scanning electron microscope and students in the minerology and petrology courses learn of these capabilities through several laboratory exercises. In a new course, students receive hands- on experience with state-of-the-art equipment through extensive labortory work. Their level of background in areas of transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy enable the students to present more favorable credentials to prospective employers. Further, students have the technical capabilities that allow them to pursue goals in either graduate school or medical school research. The grantee provides funds for this project that more than match the NSF award.
