Acquisition of Two X-ray Generators

该合同提供了购买替换X射线发生器和用于美国自然历史博物馆(AMNH)X射线衍射仪系统的管子所需资金的一半。AMNH承诺提供此次收购所需的剩余资金。AMNH的矿物科学系开展矿物学和岩石学方面的项目，这些项目涉及在研究、教育和博物馆策展活动中使用X射线衍射技术。更换他们的X射线发生器和射线管将使这项工作能够有效地进行。

This award provides one-half of the funds required for the purchase of replacement X-ray generators and tubes to be used on the X-ray diffractometer system at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). The AMNH is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for this acquisition. The Department of Mineral Sciences at AMNH carries out programs in mineralogy and petrology that involve the use of X- ray diffraction techniques in research, educational and museum curatorial activities. The replacement of their X-ray generators and tubes will allow this work to go on efficiently.
