Updating of the Johns Hopkins HRTEM/AEM Laboratory

该奖项将提供一半的资金， 升级高分辨率和分析透射电子 显微镜（HRTEM/AEM）实验室在约翰霍普金斯大学。 的 大学致力于提供所需的额外资金， 这次收购。 目前的设施，其中已严重 使用了将近七年，显然需要升级。 的 将添加的组件，包括新的Si/Li X射线探测器， 一个液氮分析试样保持器，一台新电脑，一台新的 TEM视频系统和一个新的离子磨，将确保这一点， 我们将继续提供高质量的数据。 这 实验室被认为是两个最富有成效的， 全国 这一升级应使其能够延长 该设施的使用寿命长达数年。

This award will provide for half the funding necessary to upgrade the high-resolution and analytical transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM/AEM) laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. The university is committed to provide the additional funds needed for this acquisition. The present facility, which has been heavily used, is nearly seven years old and clearly needs an upgrade. The components to be added, which include a new Si/Li X-ray detector, a liquid nitrogen analytical specimen holder, a new computer, a new TEM video system, and a new ion mill, will assure that this facility will continue to generate high quality data. This laboratory is considered to be one of the two most productive in the country. This upgrade should make it possible to extend the highly useful life of this facility for several years.
