The existing X-ray diffractometer will be upgraded and computerized for data acquisition and analysis. The upgraded instrument will be used in a series of intermediate level laboratories and in courses in mineralogy, sedimentology, and petrology. Through these laboratories, students will learn how to use the instrument to answer their own research questions. An important focus of several of these improved laboratories will be sediments from Seneca Lake, on which the colleges are located, and on which they maintain a research vessel to support studies of the lake and its sediments. An upgraded and automated diffractometer will provide greater support for this unique undergraduate research opportunity. The college will provide 50% matching funds.

现有的X射线衍射仪将进行升级和电脑化，以便进行数据采集和分析。升级后的仪器将用于一系列中级实验室以及矿物学、沉积学和岩石学课程。通过这些实验室，学生们将学习如何使用该仪器来回答他们自己的研究问题。其中几个经过改进的实验室的一个重要重点将是来自Seneca湖的沉积物，这些学院位于Seneca湖上，他们在该湖上保留了一艘研究船，以支持对该湖及其沉积物的研究。升级的自动化衍射仪将为这一独特的本科生研究机会提供更大的支持。学院将提供50%的配套资金。
